This discussion guide is designed as a tool to facilitate dialogue, and deepen understanding of the complex issues in Me Facing Life: Cyntoia's Story, a film that follows the sad and startling story of Cyntoia Brown, who is serving a life sentence for a murder she committed at age of 16. The guide provides important context, and raises thought provoking questions to encourage viewers to think more deeply. We provide suggestions for areas to take action and to explore in panel discussions, in the classroom, in communities, and online. We also provide valuable resources and connections to organizations.
