From an award-winning filmmaking team, "Make A Circle" follows a group of child care providers who are determined to change how society values the education of its youngest citizens. Weaving together the magic they create in the classroom, the struggles they endure at home, and their tireless activism for their profession, "Make A Circle" is a moving portrait of life as an early childhood educator and a promising blueprint for fixing our broken child care system.

After the screening, join us for an engaging discussion with early education leaders, working to improve the child care system in Spokane and beyond.

Discussion panelists:
Kerra Bower, Little Scholars Development Center & Raze Early Learning and Development Center
Bianka DeSure, Spokane Workforce Council & Inland Northwest Early Learning Alliance
Katia Jasmin, Parkview Early Learning Center & Creole Resources
Christine Mulate, Parkview Early Learning Center
Moderator: Luc Jasmin III, Eastern Washington Representative for Governor Bob Ferguson

Seating is limited, so reserve your spot today at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/docs-with-ksps-make-a-circle-tickets-1982815539655

This is the second screening in the "Docs with KSPS" film series. This spring KSPS is hosting three free documentary screenings followed by an opportunity to hear from local leaders on the frontlines of these important topics.
