Community Screening of Netflix: “Sisters on Track”

Panelists discuss the importance of mentorship for young women of color 

Denver Arts & Venues is pleased to present a community screening of Netflix original, “Sisters on Track,” followed by a panel discussion about the value of mentorship for young women at McNichols Civic Center Building Sept. 17, 1 p.m. The panel will include film co-director Corinne van der Borch, impact team co-director Shanon Heckethorn, Jeuness Track Club founder Jean E. Bell and Girls Athletic Leadership School executive director Carol Bowar and a representative from Girls on the Run Rockies (TBA), and will be moderated by Stephanie Tavares-Rance, president of Run&Shoot Filmworks.

The event is free, but attendees are asked to register on Eventbrite.

“Sisters on Track” touches upon critical themes that affect our youth including the power of education, and how sports build confidence in girls.

“This film really showcases how much young women can achieve when they are not only given a chance, but also given encouragement and support,” said coach Jean E. Bell. “Through my nearly 40 years coaching through Jeuness Track Club, I have seen first-hand how much mentorship means to young women, giving them strength and helping them build the self-esteem it takes to make it in our world.”
