I’m hoping to get a movie series going at our house that will encourage us and other’s onward toward action about important issues we might not currently know about.
I really hope the movie series will be endorsed by Mosaic where I attend on Sunday’s as well as getting the word out a few other places, but we’ll see what happens.
For now, I’m trying to pick some movies. Here’s a long list of ones I’m interested in showing. I’d like to just pick ten so I can do it on a every other week basis for about 20 weeks.
What would be your ten from that list? Or do you have other suggestions?
do you have access to KILLING US SOFTLY? i used to use that in a girls group that i taught. but mine is the old version, so the ads are very out of date. if you have a recent addition, i would love to borrow it. and, i think we should watch it as a group. it is an excellent film!
Once it comes out, you should add Blood Diamond to that list. Lynnette and I saw it last week. Very moving and tough to watch. But it accurately portrays the way conflict diamonds make it from Africa to Madison Ave.
1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10, and 25. I also think you should add “The Thin Blue Line.”
By the way, the way the site looks right now…is AWESOME!
Jody,
