Feb 18 - Howard Zinn: You
Can’t Be Neutral
on a Moving Train (2004)
Our tribute
to Howard Zinn, an
academic rebel,
leader of civil
disobedience and influential writer
who died on Jan 27, 2010. This
film captures the essence of an
extraordinary man who was a
catalyst for progressive change
for more than 60 years. His story
offers inspiration and solutions for
coping with these turbulent times.
Mar 4 - Forbidden
Childhood / Vietato
Sognare (2008) A
special presentation
by Amnesty Italy’s
2009 film award
winner – director
Barbara Cupisti. Her
film delves into the emotions and
lives of Israeli and Palestinian
children in the occupied territories.
The clashes, suffering and hopes
of young activists are shown,
striving to achieve a better life and
peaceful future. Don’t miss her!
Mar 18 - Inside the Meltdown (2008)
This film investigates
the causes of the
worst economic crisis
in 70 years and the
$700 billion “bailout”.
It examines the downfall of
financial institutions and what US
government officials didn’t see,
couldn’t stop and haven’t been
able to fix. Why were financial
experts caught off guard? Is a
stable recovery likely? How can
we ensure a safe fiscal future?
Apr 8 - Food, Inc. (2008) In the US,
obesity has risen
to an alarming
state, prompting
the White House
now to take action.
Can it address the
root causes of the problem or will
real change be hampered by
special interests? Shocking truths
are revealed by experts lobbying
for more rigorous control on what
we eat and how it is produced.
Directed by: Robert Kenner Run time: 91 minutes Web site:Food, Inc.
Apr 22 - Pray the Devil Back to Hell (2008) This story is
a testament to the
power of community
organizing, faith,
empowerment, and
peaceful protest
against steep odds. The women
of Liberia campaigned to oust
their president and resume stalled
peace talks after a devastating
civil war. Their action inspired the
campaign motto “Peace is Loud”!
May 6 - The Anatomy of Hate (2009) This
study of venomous
ideologies and acts
of hate reveals traits
common throughout
the world that make
us susceptible to
hate, but demonstrates equally
that we can overcome hatred.
Experts examine homophobia,
anti-semitism, white supremacy,
war atrocities, and Christian and
Muslim fundamentalist bigotry.
Directed by: Mike Ramsdell Run time: 86 minutes Web site:The Anatomy of Hate
May 20 - The Age of Stupid (2008) A cautionary tale about climate change, and what will become of
our world if we continue to ignore warning signs and do not stop global warming while we still can.
Set in 2055, in a world devastated by mankind’s lack of foresight, actor Pete Postlewaite seeks
the answer to why we let our planet fall to ruin. Six stories are told from around the world covering
hurricane and flood damage, glacial melting, and frustrated anger by those trying to prevent future
natural disasters. Let’s not be stupid. Things can be done to foresee and curb climate change.
Sottotitoli in Italiano. Un film da non perdere sull’impatto del cambiamento climatico!

Upshot of our Nov. 9th group discussion on current politics:
It wasn't the Russians that got us Trump. Or Comey. Or even the massive GOP election fraud. It was the DNC.* *Dem National Committee
To learn how to stop the DNC
from delivering us another Trump, read Autopsy: the Democratic Party in Crisis.

Did someone tell you that U.S. military intervention in Iraq was over? Not true: we're at it again. This time the pretext to drop bombs is "curbing ISIS" (which was created by the U.S. in the first place, to overturn al-Malaki in Iraq and then Assad in Syria, and is now out of hand.
Like what happened to "our" creature al Qaeda in Afghanistan). And the death toll continues to rise...
Write your senators and tell them: "Enough! U.S. out!! Iraq has shown it can curb ISIS by itself!"
The USC4P&J documentary films series, Eyes Wide Open, continues in its 11th season with a series of films on alternate Thursdays through May 2010.
