Two hundred DATA students from Cathedral City High School joined other high school students from around the valley as special guests of the Palm Springs International Film Festival Wednesday Jan. 6, 2010 at Palm Springs High School. Coordinated by PSIFF Education coordinator Deborah Dearth, students saw a screening of "Samson and Delilah" in the morning, a story about a young aboriginal couple facing cultural hurdles.
After lunch hosted by Chipotle, the students watched "The Most Dangerous Man in America; Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers." "Most Dangerous" co-producer Judith Ehrlich (left) participated in a question and answer session with students following the viewing.
