The film GOD GREW TIRED OF US: The Story of the Lost Boys of Sudan will be shone at the Worcester Friends Meetinghouse, 901 Pleasant Street, Worcester. Film will begin at 7 PM, discussion and refreshments. This film was the winner of both the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival. GOD GREW TIRED OF US explores the indomitable spirit of three “Lost Boys” from the Sudan who leave their homeland, triumph over seemingly insurmountable adversities and move to America, where they build active and fulfilling new lives but remain deeply committed to helping the friends and family they have left behind.

Tuesday Feb 13 film screening and dialogue with the director, 7:00 pm, Razzo Hall, Clark University.

Documentary filmmaker Eugene Jarecki will show his award-winning film on the economic and political ground for "why we fight," based on Dwight D Eisenhower's cautions regarding the "military-industrial complex," and will lead a dialogue following the film.

Eugene Jarecki is a dramatic and documentary filmmaker and visiting senior fellow at Brown University's Watson Institute. His most recent film, Why We Fight won the 2005 Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival.

Quakers Sponsor Monthly Film Series ~ Movies at the Meeting House.

On Friday, February 2 at 7 pm, there will be a free showing of An Inconvenient Truth. This internationally acclaimed, award winning documentary about global warming, written by Al Gore and directed by Davis Guggenheim in 2006. The film will be shown at the Quaker Meeting House at 901 Pleasant Street, Worcester. Matthew Shorten, clerk of the peace and social concerns committee of the Meeting says:

Al Gore's film is correct. Global warming is no longer a political issue, it is a moral challenge that affects all of us.

Popcorn and refreshments will be served. Discussion will follow the movie. This event is the first of a series sponsored by the Worcester Friends Meeting (Quaker). For information call 774-364-0468.

There will be an open screening of the Academy Award winning film, HARLAN COUNTY USA, this Friday, January 19, at 7:00 pm in Kinnicutt Hall, Salisbury Labs. This extraordinary documentary focuses on the struggle by a group of mine workers in Kentucky to win concessions from the coal mine owners--striking for safer working conditions, fair labor practices, and decent wages. In the course of the film, the company hires gun thugs to intimidate (and even murder) the workers, the mine workers union is revealed to be corrupt, and we come away with a greater appreciation for the dignity and courage of ordinary people in challenging power.
