Join us for this free documentary as Gone Guys explores a “quiet crisis” in our communities, hidden in plain sight: the increasing disengagement and isolation of boys and young men. Set in rural Vermont, this documentary brings national data to life highlighting the struggles faced by boys and young men and sets the stage for a meaningful conversation.
This award-winning 45-minute documentary film draws on the work of Richard V. Reeves (“Of Boys and Men”), illuminating these trends through powerful data and personal storytelling. The film invites audiences to think about how they are experiencing these issues in their own lives and communities, and how we can all be a part of the solution. After the film, a panel discussion will be held.
About the Panel

The panel participants will include Sergeant Todd Wilkins, Arlington School Board Chair, Vermont State Police and youth soccer coach; Nick Albert of Albert Construction, business owner; Thom Powers, Arlington School District School Psychologist; and students and teachers from local schools.
The discussion will be moderated by Nicol Whalen, an Arlington School Board member.
