The Superhero Within - A puppet Film with a mission
Creator, puppeteer, producer Anatar Marmol-Gagné, Film Director Russ Martin and WPAA-TV Artistic Director Josiah Houston bring you the World Premiere of The Superhero Within - A Puppet Film in collaboration with WPAA - TV and Community Media Center on Community Media Day Oct 20th, 8:30 pm.
The show is designed to address the need for 'active shooter training for Pre-K to Grade 5 in a non-scary way.
Anyone can view this film at noon or 9 pm via the wpaa.tv internet simulcast. Just put wpaa.tv in your browser. #wpaatv #socialactionart #MoreThanTV
The show will NOT be publically posted on the Internet.
As our friend, Sharlene Kerelejza, MSW, Clinical Assistant Professor Sacred Heart University shared, and the production team agrees:
Philosophically I struggle with personal safety approaches, as it puts responsibility for protection on the most vulnerable members of the experience, but I get why folks feel the need to do it, and ... The puppet show is well done: cute, engaging, and artfully done. It’s not overly scary which is great.
WPAA-TV appreciates the opportunity to collaborate with exceptionally talented people like Anatar Marmol-Gagné, puppeteer, and Russ Martin, Film Director, and have the support of community experts like Sharlene Kerelejza as we try to make this show available nationwide with appropriate support tools in place.
This project was made possible by the community donors who contributed to #wpaatv during #theGreatGive2022, last May, and the Fred Ulbrich Memorial Fund.

Our goal is to make the film available at no cost across the country with provisions for local mental health resources and potentially puppeteers availability to support its distribution. Here is a preview of the show, its purpose, and its credentials.

Laying the Cash Tracks for Community Impact
LISC CFO Christina Travers is among the impact investing leaders who contributed commentaries to a new book, The Social Justice Investor, and joined a panel discussion at today’s book launch. In her essay, “Laying the Cash Tracks,” (reprinted here) she explains the evolution of LISC’s capital markets experience—noting how discouraging Wall Street conversations eventually led to transformative, community-focused investments.Sharing the Story of Social Justice Investing
