Paper Tigers Screening and Discussion

Watch the critically acclaimed Paper Tigers documentary, followed by a debrief and discussion on the practical applications in your own setting to break the cycles of poverty, violence and disease that affect families.

At a Glance

Paper Tigers is a documentary chronicling a year in the lives of 6 students at an alternative high school after it radically changed its approach to discipline. From getting into fights, grappling with traumatic events in their lives, and on the cusp of dropping out, they find healing, support and academic promise at Lincoln High. Facilitators lead a debrief and discussion after the movie to allow participants to synthesize what they have seen into practical applications in their own setting. This movie contains graphic language.
