On Saturday, Feb. 29 at 1 p.m., West Catholic High School will be screening LIKE, an IndieFlix Original documentary that explores the impact of social media on our lives and the effects of technology on the brain. The goal of the film is to inspire and help equip us to self-regulate. Social media is a tool and social platforms are a place to connect, share, and care… but is that what's really happening?

The documentary is about 50 minutes and following the documentary there will be a 20-30 minute Q & A. Parents and students are welcome to attend.

For more information about the film, visit thelikemovie.com.
