Reel Relationships: Heartstoppers
Welcome back to Reel Relationships! This month, we are focusing on Heartstopper, a show targeted at a younger audience. Heartstopper is based on comics by Alice Oseman and follows a group of high schoolers as they navigate coming-of-age experiences such as interpersonal communication, coming out, bullying, mental health, and self-discovery.
Sexual Assault Awareness Month: Raising Awareness, Raising a Glass for Survivors
April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and it’s the perfect time to both learn more and celebrate the local businesses and neighbors who stand with survivors. This month, we’re talking about drug-facilitated sexual assault, sharing a powerful tool that’s helping make hospitality spaces safer, and kicking off our annual Pints for Our Voice campaign.
Behind the Screen: Power and Control
In our previous Reel Relationships blog, we explored how Bridgerton invites us into a world of romance, longing, and social expectation. The relationships are compelling, the stakes feel high, and the emotional intensity draws us in. But beneath the surface, many of these storylines are shaped by something deeper than love alone. They are shaped by power.
