Paper Tigers (2015, 102 min., PG13 - strong language, offensive slurs and violence) 'Paper Tigers' chronicles a year in the life of Lincoln High School in the community of Walla Walla, Washington. The kids who come to Lincoln have a history of truancy, behavioral problems and substance abuse. After Lincoln's principal is exposed to research about the effects of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), he decides to radically change the school's approach to discipline. With the aid of diary camera footage, the film follows six students. 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.

Fort Worth Movies That Matter is a FREE, bi-monthly film series that explores various human and civil rights issues and celebrates diversity and inclusion. Each event features a film screening, followed by a moderated discussion with local subject matter experts. Screenings are held in February, April, June, August, October, and December. Additional screening events with community partners are also held throughout the year by special arrangement.

Movies That Matter is a program of the Fort Worth Human Relations Commission (HRC). The HRC is appointed by the City Council to promote the values of diversity, equity, inclusion and access by enforcing civil rights laws as they pertain to housing, employment and public accommodation, raising public awareness of Fort Worth's diverse cultures and their contributions to the community's social and economic vitality; fostering harmonious human relations among Fort Worth residents, and coordinating efforts to eliminate racial, ethnic, and gender disparities in criminal justice, economic development, education, governance, health, housing and transportation.
