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.
