[PAA-Discuss] Fourth Friday Flicks & Fun

[Bill Crosier]

Several groups are teaming up to present a film series of 
politically-oriented movies, and we hope you'll join us to relax and 
enjoy yourself while getting a chance to discuss important issues in 
an informal atmosphere, too.  Bring flyers for events you'd like to 
promote, too.

Feel free to forward this to others who may be interested -- it's open to all.

When:
Friday, Aug 25, 6:30 - 9:30 pm
(Fourth Friday of each month)

The August film is a new one called "The Time is Now" 
http://www.thetimeisnowthemovie.com/
The movie sheds light on episodes of American foreign policy that 
link our government to torture and other war crimes, and the arming 
and training of terrorists, both at home and abroad.  It connects 
these horrors to each of us, with an intimacy that is both comforting 
and at the same time unsettling.  "The Time is Now" heralds a new 
voice and a courageous new examination of America.  This searing 
political monologue exposes shocking discoveries in a way that is 
part plea, part confessional, and part outcry.  It emphasizes the 
need for a U.S. Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

We'll have time for socializing (with refreshments) before and after 
each film, so you can visit with others while relaxing. Invite your 
friends and relatives who may not want to go to political meetings or 
protests, as we want these to be fun events.

A discussion will follow each film, for those who can stay.

The evening's schedule:

6:30 PM    Mix, mingle, munch, and mellow out with others. You are 
welcome to pass out flyers for your favorite issues, events, and 
candidates. You may bring drinks (BYOB) and food or snacks to share 
if you wish (not required, though).

7:30 PM    Movie begins - "The Time is Now" (78 minutes)

9:00 PM    Discussion on movie and how it relates to current events.

$4 suggested donation, no one turned away

Location for the August film:
    Harris Co. Democratic Party Headquarters
    1445 N. Loop West, Ste. 110,  Houston
This is on the south side of the North Loop I-610, east of Ella Blvd 
(N. Loop exit 14). Turn into the first or second driveway after the 
IBEW sign.  There's free parking and it's wheelchair accessible.  The 
Democratic party is not sponsoring the movie, just letting us use the 
facility.

We may change locations for later films.  Check the web site below 
for updates and future film information.
