More than 400 people attended the May opening of Behind the Seen: Encounters with the Contemporary Family, an art exhibit located at the Holly Hill Mall and Business Center in Burlington, NC, where community members were able to view the final artwork and a 20-minute clip of the documentary. The project, in celebration of Childrens Mental Health Awareness Day, was a joint venture of the Alamance Alliance for Children and Families and N.C. Families United.
