About the Film Series
The film series was started in 2001 by the Human Rights Committee to make human rights issues more visible and plan social action on these issues both within FUS's congregation and in the greater Madison community. Last year the sponsorship of the series broadened to the entire Social Justice Council, so that issues of economic justice, environmental justice, sexual orientation and peace and justice would be included. Films are selected to educate, encourage dialogue and, hopefully increase social activism.
