“The impact of our alumni screening was beyond what we anticipated. “The Mask You Live In” appealed to the diverse demographics of our alumni population. Attendees of the screening were intellectually and emotionally moved by the topic. The conversation that followed the screening brought the issues of the film right into our community. In fact, our panel discussion could have continued well beyond an hour because of the interest sparked by the film. I would urge any community who cares about their young men and women, to bring this film to their community members.” —Fadia Desmond, Former President, Sacramento Stanford Association
