The Coddling of the American Mind private screening
The Benson Center is excited to host a private screening of The Coddling of the American Mind on March 21, 2023 at 5:30 p.m. in Wolf Law 204. Registration is required.
Synopsis
Based on The New York Times bestselling book—Kimi is a Ugandan immigrant. Lucy just left a locked psych ward. Both teenagers begin new lives as they enter college. They’re full of promise but quickly succumb to paranoia and misery. Kimi is on the brink of homelessness and Lucy is convinced people want to murder her simply because she’s autistic.
The women are part of a global mental-health mystery that threatens an entire generation. Beginning in 2012, anxiety, depression, and suicide shot up among young people, and nobody knew why. The answers emerged from an unexpected source—a man named Greg and his own brush with suicide.

45 minute Q&A with the film directors following the screening.
