Saturday, December 1 – THE FREEDOM FILES: SEASON II – 8 PM
Join us for a special screening of selected episodes from the 9-Part Series The Freedom Files: Season II produced in collaboration with Brave New Films and the ACLU. Freedom to Parent: Lesbian & Gay Families looks at laws in selected states that prohibit gay men and lesbians from adopting or serving as foster parents. Freedom From Abuse of Power: Torture and Unlawful Imprisonment illustrates how Americans’ all-important right to due process is being eroded, and how torture and extraordinary rendition are being illegally used by our government in the “war on terror.” Freedom to Dream: Rights of Immigrants focuses on local ordinances being introduced in small towns across America that seek to curb illegal immigration and end up fostering a climate of xenophobic fear.
