Social Justice Movies 2010

Posted By Dee Stofko on February 3, 2010

The Social Justice ministry has planned out the 2010 First Tuesday film series. Here’s the list:

  • March: Aristide and the Endless Revolution – background about Haiti and why it mistrusts the U.S.
  • April: Rethink Afghanistan – about the War in Afghanistan
  • May: Garbage – environmental movie about a family keeps garbage in its garage for 3 months
  • June: Winter Soldier – Vietnam veteran’s against the war
  • July: Boy Who Played on the Buddhas of Bamiyan – about a boy who lives among the ruins of a once-famous tourist attraction in Afghanistan destroyed in 2001 by the Taliban
  • August: The Corporation—putting our corporations on the psychiatrist’s couch—interviews with corporate insiders – relevant because of Supreme Court ruling regarding no restrictions on money spent on political ads
  • September: Made in L.A. – sweatshops
  • October: The Witness – animal rights
  • November: (Title Withheld Due To License Restrictions) – Let’s just say it’s an award winning movie about children living in poverty in a major far-eastern city.
  • December: Renewal (reshowing)

For more information about these films, or to visit the archive of films we’ve shown in the past, please visit: the 1st Tuesday Social Action Film Festival website.
