Counted Out/Math is Power -- A Film By Vicki Abeles
We will be hosting a documentary screening of the award winning movie Counted Out. This is open to the wider community, with a sliding scale admission, and limited childcare available for an additional fee. There will be a community discussion following the show.
“With education under attack and misinformation on the rise, math is more than just numbers—it’s a language for reason, a foundation for truth, and a tool for democracy. Across the country, communities are coming together to explore how math literacy shapes everything from opportunity to civic life.” This documentary encourages us to treat math “not just as a subject, but as a shared language for building a healthier, more informed future.”
Proceeds from ticket sales help cover screening costs. Any additional funds will support Orchard School’s math program, a program that encourages hands-on exploration and inquiry, using many of the methods championed in the Counted Out documentary.
