A group of Wilde Lake High School (WLHS) students, the Students for Social Justice (S4SJ), has organized a movie night, the theme is that heroes can look different. We want to show kids that heroes can look like them. The movie night will take place Friday, May 21st, at 6:30 pm and end at around 8:30 pm.

First, the students will watch a movie short called Hair Love, rated for all. In Hair Love, “It follows the story of a man who must do his daughter's hair for the first time, and it features Issa Rae as a voice of the mother.” After the short is over, we will begin to watch the movie Spider-Man Into the Spider-Verse, rated PG. It is a 1-hour 56-minute film where “Bitten by a radioactive spider in the subway, Brooklyn teenager Miles Morales suddenly develops mysterious powers that transform him into the one and only Spider-Man. When he meets Peter Parker, he soon realizes that there are many others who share his special, high-flying talents. Miles must now use his newfound skills to battle the evil Kingpin, a hulking madman who can open portals to other universes and pull different versions of Spider-Man into our world.”

After the movie, students will have the opportunity to participate in a discussion about it. They will also receive action steps they can take to make an impact in their community You can join the event using the Google Meet code wlhs-spiderman. We hope that you can make it! Thank you.
