Eastside Preparatory School announced that it will be one of only a few locations in this region to host a screening of the independent documentary “Finding Kind.”

The issue of bullying, particularly among girls, is an especially relevant and current topic and Eastside Prep is proud to offer this screening.Eastside Prep’s commitment to strong and healthy relationships has prompted them to offer this screening at no cost to the public.

The screening will be held at 7 p.m. Sept. 26 the Kirkland Performing Arts Center, 350 Kirkland Ave., Kirkland. A question-and-answer session will begin immediately following the screening.

This session will be facilitated by Dr. Kelly Moore, Eastside Prep’s school counselor and the school’s student body president and vice president, both girls in their senior year.

While “Finding Kind” is certainly geared towards girls, Eastside Prep invites all those interested to attend.

In “Finding Kind,” filmmakers Lauren Parsekian and Molly Thompson, who met while in school at Pepperdine University, set out in a cross-country journey of discovery and education.

Interviewing women and girls along the way about their lives and experiences, Parsekian and Thompson find, among all the unique personal stories, some universal truths about growing up as girls.

“Finding Kind” is a document of that journey, and of the filmmakers’ quest to take these experiences and find a common ground of kindness and mutual respect.

In addition to all of the individual girls and women who share their personal experiences about girl on girl bullying with the filmmakers, Parsekian and Thompson include interviews with respected experts and authors in the fields of psychology, education and the interrelationships of woman and girls.
