Friday Night At The Meaningful Movies: “TALKING TO THE WALL” ...Taking On Wal-Mart
Special Film and Presentation: "TALKING TO THE WALL" (2003, 57 min, Steve Alves) ...Taking on Wal Mart.
ABOUT THE FILM: Wal-Mart's plan to build a large store in a small town is the backdrop for this sharp-edged comedy. All goes well for the corporate giant until an 11th hour citizens' rebellion resists the lure of low prices to reveal another side of the bargain: the paving over of open land, the disappearance of Main Street businesses, and the rolling back of wages. This David and Goliath tale goes still deeper, exposing the larger story of citizens unwittingly turned into a nation of consumers.
Followed by a discussion led by VIKI SONNTAG, Board Member with Community Alliance for Global Justice and Coordinator for Unitarian Universalists for a Just Economic Community; and HEATHER GOLDEN, Board Member with Community Alliance for Global Justice, Organizer with United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW Local 1001), and The Wake-Up Wal-Mart Campaign. FREE! - Donations Very Much Appreciated.

Friday Night At The Meaningful Movies: “PORTRAIT OF TERESA”
“PORTRAIT OF TERESA” (1979, Pastor Vega, 103 minutes, Cuba, Spanish language with English subtitles) is perhaps the most controversial film yet from Cuba. Teresa, portrayed by Daisy Granados, is a housewife and mother, who works in a textile factory. Her involvement in political and cultural groups incurs the displeasure of her husband who expects her to be waiting for him with a hot meal at night. The resulting difficulty in the marriage is depicted with compassion and authenticity. Though center-stage belongs to Teresa, it is the bond of sexual and emotional empathy between her and her husband (played by Adolfo Llaurado) that gives the film its intensity and anguish. Co-sponsored with the US Women and Cuba Collaboration www.womenandcuba.org. . FREE!! (Donations Appreciated). Join our email film announcement list at: wnfp@bridgings.org. more...
