SUMMARY:Trust Me – Rosemary Smith
DESCRIPTION:Rosemary Smith, Managing Director of the Getting Better Foundation (GBF) based in Livingston, Montana presents, “Trust Me”, a documentary about our need for media literacy to navigate the news and online manipulation.  Directed by Oscar® nominated Roko Belic, “Trust Me” features stories where a lack of media and information literacy (MIL) led to crises, like Native American leaders reducing regional conflicts; Russian interference in American Democracy; vaccine misinformation; a young man’s lynching perpetuated by encrypted misinformation shared through WhatsApp; and educators using MIL tools to empower students. The stories filmed in “Trust Me” demonstrate how a lack of MIL has increased due to the speed of information and advancements of the internet.\n“Trust Me” documents how humankind has coped with new media since the advent of the printing press. Journalists, Psychologists, Neurologists, and Media Literacy experts interviewed in “Trust Me” explain how human brains are wired to respond to information viewed on media platforms, and what people can do to lessen the physical and mental health effects.\nAs part of the program, Rosemary integrates film clips and/or the full feature film as a public presentation, followed by discussions using curriculum written by News Literacy Project. These workshops help foster awareness of MIL throughout Montana. Rosemary offers three distinct presentations to choose from:\n\nScreening “Trust Me’s” one-hour edited for public television version of the film, followed by expert Q&A with audiences.\nShowing two to three 3–10-minute educational clips from the film, including lessons from News Literacy Project’s K-12, Collegiate, Parental, or Student Guides where appropriate.\nHosting educator workshops using News Lit’s guides to help create a legacy of media literacy learning with students of participating teachers or librarians.\n\n“Trust Me” programs have successfully led to furthering audience awareness of their need for critical thinking skills, best brought about by MIL, at U.S. Embassies, Universities, High Schools, Conferences, and Organizations globally. To book “Trust Me”, please reach out to Rosemary directly, choose a program presentation and schedule a date.\n
