Films
Because of the nature of our course, there may be portions of texts that are triggering. The films in the slideshow below are no exception. Some films we will watch in full, while others I’ll include as clips in specific lessons. Check out the themes or topics we’ll discuss here and remember to be kind to yourself. You are always able to speed up or skip over certain sections as needed.
