Short moving films you won't see at a theater
Wednesday, September 17: Forgiveness
A powerful documentary that includes stories and interviews with people from
many faith traditions, and also offers features on the Amish school shooting
last fall, Ground Zero, Beirut, Belfast and other recent crises. Winner of
the 2007 Sun Valley Spiritual Film Festival. Directed by Martin Doblmeier.
Wednesday, October 15: Protagonist
A documentary by award-winning director Jessica Yu about childhood trauma,
the loss of certainty, and the strength of the human spirit.
Wednesday, November 12: Homeland: Four Portraits of Native American
Action
Nearly all Indian nations sit on land threatened by ruinous environmental
hazards. For many who live in extreme poverty on reservations lacking any
sort of infrastructure, there is little hope for jobs, few prospects for a
better life. The lure of fast cash from big companies outweighs the
long-range promise of environmental and cultural preservation. This is the
the first film to take a hard look at these realities.
Time: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. in Barry House at St. Joseph Family Center
