Film Night presents monthly screenings of movies, primarily documentaries, with social justice themes related to each of the pillars. Pillar teams provide support for film night when their focus area is the subject of the film. An important component of Film Night is the after-film discussion, which focuses on the ways in which themes of the movies play out in our own community, and ways to get involved to effect social change around the issues raised. The medium of film is used to provide education which will lead to thoughtful actions by participating individuals and groups.
