Details:
Join us on the 4th Wednesday of each month to explore new topics through revealing documentary films. Showings will be followed with thoughtful discussions and conversation..
May 28 - Six Triple Eight
This movie tells the inspiring story of the incredible and brave women of the first and only Women's Army Corps unit of color to be stationed overseas during World War II. In taking on an impossible mission, the women of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion shattered barriers and played a pivotal role in ensuring that mail reached American troops. As this is a feature film (a departure from our usual documentaries) and runs 2 hours and 7 minutes, discussion will take place the following evening.
May 29 - 4:00–5:00 pm - Special guest Lieutenant Colonel (Retired) Temi Anderson will speak about how everyday heroes can make a difference when they answer the call of public service.
June 25 - Paper Clips
A teacher searches for an effective way to teach students about the scale of the Holocaust, using paper clips to represent Jews who perished. A moving and inspiring documentary suitable for all.
