BPHC to premiere “The Halls” at Emerson’s Paramount Center 2/21


Nearly 200 local youth expected to attend special screening of first-ever web series about teen dating and relationship violence

BOSTON – Close to 200 local teens, violence prevention advocates, and community partners will fill Emerson College’s Bright Family Screening Room at the Paramount Center for an exclusive sneak peek of the Boston Public Health Commission’s innovative new web series “The Halls.”  The youth-driven project represents a nearly year-long collaboration with local teens and aims to engage youth, particularly young men, in a citywide conversation about healthy relationships and preventing dating violence.

Created in partnership with Beyond Measure Productions, the eight-part series follows a group of fictitious Boston high school students as they confront the challenges of young fatherhood, trauma, masculinity, and personal identity.  Tension begins to build in the characters’ lives and in their school’s community when one of their peers is implicated in the alleged rape of another student.
