Meaningful Movies Bellevue and Meaningful Movies Kirkland invite you to a screening of the 2024 documentary film, Fish War. Using archival footage for much of the film, the filmmakers highlight a series of civil disobedience protests (fish-ins) by tribes in the Pacific Northwest during the 1960s and 1970s.
Meaningful Movies Bellevue invites you to join us on Tuesday, November 25th, at 7 pm for a screening of Regenerating Community: Rid-All Green Partnership, a documentary from Thriving Communities. First screened at the annual Thriving Communities Gathering in 2023, Regenerating Community highlights the interdependence of existence and transformation. In 2010, Cleveland, Ohio's 'Forgotten Triangle' transformed from a notorious, illegal dumping ground to a vibrant hub for urban farming, community wellness, and local pride. Regenerating Community isn't just a story about soil and seeds; it's about people reclaiming their neighborhood and restoring dignity. Watch how urban agriculture and a resilient community spirit have turned this once-forgotten corner of the city into a place its residents are proud to call home. "As a filmmaker, my mission has always been to shine a light on stories that inspire, challenge, and transform. 'Regenerating Communities' is a film born from that mission, a testament to the power of hope and community spirit in the face of adversity.” - Jerry Millhon, Founder of Thriving Communities.
The ESCU Indigenous Connections team invites you to a screening of the award-winning documentary Sugarcane.
Sugarcane, the debut feature documentary from Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie, is a groundbreaking investigation into an Indian residential school, shedding light on years of forced separation, assimilation and abuse that Indigenous children experienced at the hands of Church and government. This urgent and timely film brings the hidden story of cultural genocide to audiences worldwide while celebrating the resilience of Native people as they work to overcome cycles of intergenerational trauma.
