SOCIAL JUSTICE FILM SCHEDULE

from Nancy Stiefel

The April SJ film will be shown on Sunday, April 27 at 7 PM in the UUFVB sanctuary.  The film is “Two Who Dared: the Sharp’s War” – a documentary about a Unitarian minister and his wife who left two young children in 1939 to go to Nazi-controlled Europe to help Jews get out of Czechoslovakia and Hungary.  Rabbi Birnholz of Temple Beth Shalom will conduct a short Holocaust Remembrance service following the film.

Because of the conflict with Mother’s Day, the May SJ film will be shown on Sunday, May 18.  That documentary is titled “Move to Amend.”  It provides a clear history lesson in Supreme Court decisions and explains the movement to amend the US Constitution so that corporations do not have the rights of persons.   

The June 8th (back to our regular 2nd Sunday of the month schedule) film will be “Blackfish” – the documentary about Orca whales in captivity.
