Meaningful Movies Bellevue: Truth Tellers
Tuesday, September 24 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Join Meaningful Movies Bellevue for the first screening of our fall season! We’re kicking off with Truth Tellers, a film addressing the importance of civic engagement. In Truth Tellers, Artist/activist Robert Shetterly uses his art to explore great American activists’ responses to some of the most pressing issues of our time. Shetterly presents portraits of contemporary activists for racial justice Bree Newsome, Zyahna Bryant, and Rev. Lennox Yearwood alongside climate activists Bill McKibben, Kelsey Juliana, and Bill Bigelow by putting them in the context of three great American civil rights leaders: John Lewis, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Bayard Rustin. The film stresses the urgency of coming together to confront these issues and to resolve to uphold our country’s founding ideals. Truth Tellers is both a story of Shetterly’s art and activism and a history lesson of what is required of a citizen.
We will be joined by a Guest Speaker, Cindy Black from Fix Democracy First, who will talk about what each of you can do to be an active citizen in your community.
