TO SAVE A LIFE- Back to School Movie Night

“TO SAVE A LIFE”- entertaining and powerful film coming to Easton for a Back to School Movie Night Sat. Sept. 10, 7-10pm at Easton Baptist Church

 This ‘Back to School Movie Night’ for area high school students is was rescheduled  to Saturday September 10, 7-10 p.m. at Easton Baptist Church 197 Bay Rd. North Easton, MA. The Youth Team of Easton Baptist Church is providing an opportunity to view this film on a big screen in a fun, safe (and FREE!) setting.   This film explores the many real-life issues teenagers face as the main characters seek to deal with them in ways that are healthy and hope-filled  “To Save a Life” is rated PG-13 for content and mild language, and this movie event is recommended for high school students.  It’s a great way to enter the new school year encouraged! 

 In early 2010, TO SAVE A LIFE took over theaters nationwide.  This independent film about teens and the choices they make in their daily lives quickly struck a chord with teens and families.  Overnight, the film received a #1 Fandango Fan rating and maintained it for over a month.  Critics and youth workers raved, families were changed, and viewers consistently commented: “Every teen and parent needs to see this film.”  TO SAVE A LIFE is the story of all-American teen Jake Taylor, who seems to have it all.  But after a childhood friend’s death, Jake’s world turns upside down, and he is forced to make a decision that could change his life forever.   At some point, every teen has to decide: "What's my life going to be about?" TO SAVE A LIFE dares to bring that question into their world, encouraging them to answer it with boldness, honesty and compassion. TO SAVE A LIFE has started a movement all across the country. In communities just like ours, groups are working together to make an organized effort to reach local teens in crisis. The script of this film may be fiction- but it’s a drama that brings home the realities of the struggles teenagers face in a way that teens can relate to, in a way which is entertaining.

As the struggles of teenage life are bombarding the media in television, music, movies, and even the news headlines- the feature film “To Save a Life” is both entertaining and powerful for all who watch it- no matter what age.  Free Snacks, games, and prizes will frame this night’s main event- the showing of “To Save a Life”.   .  Join teens from Easton and surrounding communities Saturday September 10, from 7-10pm for a great night.
