It
is our pleasure to announce that the Illinois Disciples Foundation (IDF)
will soon begin our Fall Human Rights Film Series. The series will present
important documentary films dealing with issues of human rights and
social justice. For the first time, this series will focus solely on
immigration and the issues that surround the issue. These films will
be presented to the public, free of charge, on Thursday evenings in
September and October at the Illinois Disciples Foundation. In addition,
the films will be presented by local activists and community members
who will moderate discussions about the issues presented in the films
with the people who come to the viewings. IDF is very excited about this event, which has grown in popularity since we began the series in 2003. In that time the series has expanded from an annual event to now a semi-annual event. We intend to enrich the event further this year, by linking individual films to additional events or discussions which will expand on the issues in the films, or to provide accompanying actions, moving people from education to becoming active on organizing for social justice. We hope that you will join the IDF in supporting this wonderful event for the community, organize your members and supporters to participate and help to spread the word in the community. Also, in order to more easily present these wonderful, thought-provoking films to the community, the Illinois Disciples Foundation has recently purchased it's own video projector and high-quality screen. Everyone is welcome and encouraged to attend!
