The City of Coatesville will host a special screening of “Invisible No More” on November 7th at City Hall, a powerful film created by youth involved in the juvenile justice system of Chester County. The event will highlight the creative talents of these young filmmakers and open space for a meaningful community conversation.
The screening will be followed by a discussion moderated by youth mentors who have guided the participants through this transformative project. The film, developed through a specialized filmmaking program, aims to give these young individuals a platform to share their stories, reflect on their experiences, and build skills through creative expression.
Roberta Constantine, Coatesville’s Assistant City Manager, had the chance to preview the trailer and meet some of the youth involved during a showcase at the Uptown Knauer Theatre in West Chester earlier this year and is so excited to share the experience with the Coatesville Community.
The project is supported by Arts Holding Hands and Hearts (AHHAH), an organization committed to empowering youth and fostering personal growth through arts-based programs. The filmmaking initiative not only equips participants with technical skills but also allows them to share their voices in a way that is both impactful and inspiring.
The screening promises to be an engaging event, encouraging dialogue about youth empowerment, second chances, and the role of the arts in shaping future opportunities. Community members, families, and local leaders are invited to attend and participate in what is sure to be an insightful and uplifting evening.
Mark your calendars for November 7th at Coatesville City Hall, and join us to support these young storytellers as they showcase their journey through “Invisible No More.”
