In this free screening intended for high school students (but also free for all other viewers), each of these seven films explore what it means to be oneself despite societal, familial, and personal challenges. All I Ever Wanted considers dreams of romance and how reality might offer unexpected opportunities. Exposed and Mom both explore the importance of speaking up, no matter how difficult. Taste of Home grapples with the choice between freedom and family. Connecting these films together is the question of how one can be true to themselves. Through a variety of topics including bullying, romance, art, tradition, and self-acceptance, these films consider the various ways in which we come of age.

Rom-com obsessed teen Christine has always longed for the picture-perfect romance - but she's soon confronted with the fact that her ideal prince charming might actually be a princess charming instead.
