Screenagers: Under The Influence Documentary to be Provided to Marin Public Middle + High Schools

Screenagers Under The Influence: Addressing Vaping, Drugs, and Alcohol in the Digital Age, the third feature documentary in the Screenagers trilogy, delves into how the tech revolution has reshaped adolescence and its effects on substance use.

In partnership, MCOE and HHS have purchased the rights to the film and will be provided to all public middle and high schools in Marin.

The film debunks myths and depicts strategies parents and schools can use to encourage healthy decision-making, support teen mental health, set limits, and create healthy home environments. The film also includes many ways young people are using their wisdom and strength to help each other and themselves through this complicated terrain around substance use.
