KERA-TV. The documentary will be repeated throughout January and February. Thousands of Dallas and North Texas teens and parents face a lack of quality sexual and reproductive health education and access to reproductive health resources. A deficit that leads to unintended teen pregnancies and opportunities interrupted for generations, says Terry Greenberg, Ntarupt CEO. Our Ntarupt team is dedicated to disrupting this interruption and helping more teens thrive. To have our work spotlighted in this documentary humbles and excites us. Thank you to the Global Mosaic team and to KERA for premiering the film. And for our student film contest participant to be featured in the documentary is especially momentous. We hope everyone enjoys it and that it encourages more local teens to participate in our 2021 student film and scholarship contest.
