Summer Film Series: We Wear the Mask

The ELPC Mission Board and Mission Committees invite you to our annual Summer Film Festival on Sundays in July! This year’s documentaries and movies are a continuation of our on-going systemic racism series. Join us in the Social Hall following worship to view the movies, discuss the themes, and enjoy lunch together.

This week’s feature, We Wear the Mask: The Hidden Face of Women in Poverty, explores how the psychological effects of poverty are far-reaching, and why women are more likely to feel the impact. Dominique, Veniecia, and Lou Ann lead vastly different lives, yet their stories intersect and parallel in surprising ways. We Wear the Masks, which was filmed in Pittsburgh, digs deeply into the psychology of poverty to shine a spotlight on an often underestimated segment of society. Tammy Thompson, the film’s producer and executive director of Circles of Greater Pittsburgh, will lead our discussion afterwards.
