UUFD to host Cultivating Hope Film Series: Economic Justice
The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of DeKalb will be hosting a film series this winter and spring. The series is entitled: Cultivating Hope: Economic Justice. The films will be shown on Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons. All showings will be held at the church located at 158 North 4th Street. Friday showings will be at 7:30pm and Sunday afternoons at 3pm. All showings are free and a discussion period will be offered after each showing.
The first film to be shown will be Inside Job directed by Academy Award nominated filmmaker Charles Ferguson. This is the first film to expose the shocking truth behind the economic crisis of the 2008. The global financial meltdown, which cost over $20 trillion, resulted in millions of people losing their homes and jobs. Today we are still dealing with the disastrous aftershocks of this devastating financial disaster. Through extensive research and interviews with major financial insiders, politicians, journalists, Inside Job traces the rise of a rogue industry and unveils the corrosive relationships which have corrupted politics, regulation and academia. The film is winner of numerous awards including the Academy Award for Best Documentary 2010.Inside Job will be shown at 7:30pm Friday January 13 and Sunday January 15 at 3:00pm.
Other films and dates are:
- January 13 & 15 Inside Job
February 3 & 5 Capitalism a Love Story
February 17 & 19 I Am
March 2 & 4 America: Freedom To Fascism
- March 30 & April 1 Thrive
April 20 & April 22 Freakeconomics
May 4 & May 6 End of Poverty
May 18 & May 20 Economics of Happiness
The harsh economic realities so many in the Congregation and in the DeKalb area are living with motivated the film series working group to choose economic justice for the first film series focus. The group also chose films that will first look at some of the causes for our present situation, and then end the series with films that will provide possible alternatives to creating a new healthy and sustainable economy.
The hope is that the series will be educational as well as inspiring. The film series working group hopes to have a community dialogue about where we are and where we can go to create a healthy and sustainable economy for DeKalb County. We hope that many will attend the films and stay for the discussions to follow.
