Divided Attention Community Screening Information

​The documentary Divided Attention is a product of Delaware County Advocacy & Resource Organization’s (DCARO) Engaging Support Enriching Lives (ESEL) Program.  This program is DCARO’s “Combatting the School to Prison Pipeline Project.” 
 
Divided Attention follows 4 students from Toby Farms, a public middle school in the historically underfunded Chester Upland School District, as they learn and practice mindfulness amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the threat of charter takeover and the various contributors to the school to prison pipeline.  Their challenges and growth are contrasted by the unstable support and funding inequities that have plagued Chester for decades. A call-to-action, the film looks at how the history of inequitable school funding has impacted the community and how organizers are fighting back.
 
This project is supported by a grant from the Pennsylvania Developmental Disabilities Council; in part by grant number 2001PASCDD-02, from the U.S. Administration for Community Living, Department of Health and Human Services, Washington, D.C. 20201.  Grantees undertaking projects with government sponsorship are encouraged to express freely their findings and conclusions.  Points of view or opinions do not, therefore, necessarily represent official ACL policy.”
