Watts, CA, October 27, 2015 (Newswire.com) - ​Wattstar Celebrity Ambassador, Desreta Jackson along with celebrity friends DeMonica Santiago, Hawthorne James and Watts Prodigy attended the Wattstar community movie night on Saturday, October 24, 2015.

The free movie under the stars featured Jurassic World (PG-13), was rated the number movie of the year in June 2015.

Desreta devotion to her childhood community is refreshing. I wish more celebrities would remember their foundation and find a way to reach back, inspire and exhibit a behavior that would be socially acceptable if youth can emulate .

The film which stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard and Ty Simpkins is an action, adventure, sci-fi film that the entire family can enjoy. What made this screening different than simply watching it at a theater or at home on DVD is the fact that the public was able to join together as a unit to enjoy the film. The bonus was, they are able to view it with celebrities that support them and their community.
