Movies That Matter: 2022 Discussions
Composite image by Ending Racism USA; Film image screenshots and posters copyrighted to each film.
Visual Parables and Ending Racism USA will host a series of online movie discussion groups.
Join Edward McNulty, editor and film reviewer at Visual Parables, and Ken Bedell, founder of Ending Racism USA, for a lively and thoughtful discussion of movies that matter.
When screenwriters and directors address subjects like racism, they may help us see reality and discover something about ourselves. Movie discussions are a good environment to learn from others and test our experiences and understandings.
These discussions are intended for anyone who wants to explore racism as it exists and consider – with others – the implications for our lives. Diversity of backgrounds and experiences will enrich the discussions.
