Movies That Matter: 2024 Spring Discussions
Composite image by Ending Racism USA; Film images copyrighted to each film.
Visual Parables and Ending Racism USA will host a series of online movie discussion groups.
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.
Dates and movies
The series includes:
- Tue, March 5, 2024: “The Color Purple” (2023)
- Tue, April 2, 2024: “Just Mercy” (2019)
Please plan to watch each movie before joining the online discussion. “The Color Purple” is currently in theaters. Check your local library or streaming services for all three. Resources for each film are, or soon will be, available on each movie's page on the Ending Racism USA website.
Who should attend
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.
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.
