Film Festival: Families Held Captive
August 2, 2015 @ 11:30 am - 12:15 pm
The Neighbors, Justice, and Peace Committees of the Mission Board are teaming up to sponsor our fourth annual Summer Film Festival. Films will be shown after our Courtyard Worship service, along with a light, potluck lunch.
The Justice Committee will screen this film. The Office of the General Assembly (OGA) of the PC(USA) recently joined denomination and community partners to spotlight the inhumanity of detention centers in South Texas, housing Central American mothers and their children. Persons of faith and conscience are organizing to provide outreach to these families and end this disturbing practice by the U.S. government. Families Held Captive, produced by OGA, examines these prison-like facilities and the lives most affected.
Following the film, there will be information sharing and discussion led by ELPC members who recently attended the Ecumenical Advocacy Days in Washington, D.C.
