Join Meaningful Movies Bellevue’s first screening of 2024! We will be showing The If Project, a feature-length documentary that explores the reasons why women are the fastest growing segment of the incarcerated population, increasing at nearly double the rate of men since 1985. The film follows a group of inmates incarcerated at the Washington Corrections Center for Women. These women are part of a writing workshop cofounded by Seattle Police Detective Kim Bogucki and former inmate Renata Abramson. Now a thriving non-profit organization, The If Project serves justice-involved individuals and their families. Plan to join via Zoom to find out what the “If” question is all about!
Have you ever wondered what it means to be immortal? Or how you would act in a life-or-death situation? Or what would happen if you could travel back in time? In The Power of Thought Experiments, award-winning philosopher Daniel Breyer of Illinois State University takes you around the world and across intellectual traditions to explore the power of thought experiments. And, critically, you won’t simply learn about influential thought experiments throughout history, you’ll work through them in your own thinking, question them, challenge them, and evaluate what power they have to expand our minds and inform our lives. Led by Alan Carter.
