Sunday November 16, 12 noon MoveOn Council of South Palm Beach/North Broward, an affiliate of Move to Amend
Films for Thought 2014: Join us one Sunday of every month for an update on local MoveOn activities followed by a viewing and informal discussion of a thought-provoking film.
South of the Border, Oliver Stone’s 2009 film on South America and the role the United States has played in the area, is "a road trip across five countries to explore the social and political movements as well as the mainstream media's misperception of South America while interviewing seven of its elected presidents." (imdb)
Most of us who were educated in the U.S. never learned about the America south of us. This film might show you why.
The film and discussion are free, but we encourage a purchase of drink or snack from the coffee shop to show appreciation for allowing us to show these films there. Likewise, please don't bring in outside food.
