Prof. Joseph Hickman is an adjunct professor at Seton Hall University
School of Law and a senior research fellow at its Center for Policy and
Research. Joe is also a former Marine and army sergeant who has worked
on a variety of sensitive operations worldwide, including security at
Guantanamo prison in Cuba. His revelations about the abuse of prisoners
at the facility resulted in his award winning story in Harper’s magazine
and his book “Murder at Camp Delta.” Prof. Hickman’s most recent book
“The Burn Pits: The Poisoning of America’s Soldiers” investigates the
Department of Defense’s and its private contractors’ negligence and
subsequent denial about the human health and environmental dangers of
“burn pits” in Afghanistan and Iraq, which exposed tens of 1000s of
soldiers to life threatening toxins. The book has been banned by the
Defense Department, and Joe is donating his royalties to the non-profit
advocacy organization, BurnPit360.org, that is fighting on behalf of
1000s of soldiers suffering from a wide range of diseases, including
autoimmune disorders, untreatable respiratory illnesses, and a variety
of cancers due to burn pit exposure.

DESCRIPTION:
Are you watching your KIDS SCROLL through life, with their rapid-fire
thumbs and SIX SECOND ATTENTION SPAN? In this frank and slightly
frightening film, physician Delaney Ruston takes a hard look at how
screen time THREATENS TO WARP THE SELF-IMAGE and self-control of our
teenagers. She became interested in these questions when her preteen
daughter started begging for a smart phone. As with her award-winning
documentaries on mental health, Ruston takes a deeply personal approach,
probing into the vulnerable corners of family life, including her own.
These stories depict the messy STRUGGLES OVER SOCIAL MEDIA, video GAMES,
academics and internet ADDICTION revealing universal truths about the
modern quest for a sense of belonging and accomplishment that is all too
often sought online. SCREENAGERS also takes an entertaining look at the
role parents play in modeling GOOD TECH behavior. It uncovers
surprising insights from authors, PSYCHOLOGISTS, and brain SCIENTISTS
about the impact of screen time on developing minds. This long overdue
film offers SOLUTIONS for how we can EMPOWER our kids to best navigate
the DIGITAL WORLD-- the biggest PARENTING issue of our time.
