“Our entire staff was able to better understand the societal pressures and stereotypes that our campers deal with…and how to counteract the impression they leave on our girls. Thank you for your wealth of knowledge." – Tracy St. Onge-May, Director, The Summer Camp
"Ugly Ducklings has provided us with a brilliant film and an information-rich, user-friendly action kit that we can employ with youth in very diverse settings – schools, youth groups, faith communities, shelters, and other residential programs. This documentary is right now the best film on the planet that confronts us with the painful intrapersonal and interpersonal effects on all young people of the pervasive sexual prejudice that we teach them, and the resultant harassment and bullying, and it does so with power and sensitivity." - Diane Elze, School of Social Work, University of Buffalo
