Film is a great way to learn about parts of life that we haven’t experienced.  In the last year, we focused on the stories of ordinary people who were motivated by their faith to loving, compassionate, courageous actions.  This year, we are going to explore elements of the (mostly American) black experience of the last century.  Most of the stories we will see tell us a portion of our history through the work of well-respected black playwrights, actors and directors.  Whenever possible, we will use subtitles, so that those who have difficulty hearing can follow the story.  As before, we will gather at 6pm, watch the movie, talk about it, and share snacks and memories.  Plan to be here from 6:00-8:45pm. Please feel free to bring a pick-up meal, if you come from work, or snacks to share.  Except for December, all of the movies will show on the third Wednesday of the month.
