‘First Generation’ to be shown at LTCC

There will be a screening of the documentary “First Generation” at Lake Tahoe Community College’s Duke Theatre on April 10 from 6-8pm.

The film tells the stories of four California high school students who are trying to break out of the cycle of poverty they’re in by pursuing a college education.

LTCC’s TRiO-SSS program, which provides support services to first-generation students like those portrayed in the film, is sponsoring this free film.

There will be a post-film discussion led by LTCC TRiO-SSS Coordinator Anna Lee about how local TRiO programs help low-income, first-generation students avoid some of the pitfalls seen in the film.
