SUMMARY:FILM & DISCUSSION SERIES
DESCRIPTION:Join us for conversations about God’s invitation to reconciliation after viewing selections from these acclaimed films.\nREGISTER TODAY!\nTuesday\, May 9\, 6:00-8:00 p.m.   Dear White People – A fictional feature film by Justin Simien about real life events.  This tongue-in-cheek story opens up a great deal of the unspoken dynamics\, assumptions\, and biases present in contemporary America. \nTuesday\, June 13\, 6:00-8:00 p.m.   I Am Not Your Negro – Based on the writings of James Baldwin and directed by Raoul Peck\, this film traces the civil rights movement from the 1960’s through today. \nTuesday\, July 11\, 6:00-8:00 p.m.   13th – From acclaimed director Ava DuVernay comes this story that traces the abolition of slavery followed closely by the emergence of the industrial prison complex. The relationship between the two? More than coincidental. \nPLEASE REGISTER HERE.
