🎬 Join us at The Little Theatre for the premiere of In Control's latest film, Bound by Bravery. This inspiring film was created by the young interns from In Control's Summer Filmmaking Program, in collaboration with UtchatVision and the City of Rochester's Summer Of Opportunity Program (SOOP). The evening begins with a photo exhibition hosted by In Control's talented young photographers in collaboration with Chris Johnson from 6-6:30pm, followed by the movie screening. 🍿 Film Summary: Jayden, a teenager struggling with anger and loss after the death of his martial arts champion father, stumbles upon his dad’s memorabilia and fighting journal. These relics ignite a spark within him, pushing Jayden to harness his father’s skills and teachings. As he delves deeper into martial arts, he gains strength and confidence, preparing himself to confront a new challenge: protecting his mother from her abusive boyfriend, Mike. 🗓️ Tuesday, August 13, 2024 ⏰ 6-7:30pm 📍 240 East Avenue, Rochester, NY 14604 Get your FREE tickets today: bit.ly/bound-by-bravery

Consent is never a one-time thing. Just because someone said yes to sex at one point, doesn’t mean they’re giving blanket permission to sex all the time. Remember: Consent can be withdrawn at any time. While rejection can suck, it’s important to always respect your partner’s decision with love and understanding. 🫶
