*Issues Through Film*: Geoclan monthly video screening. "GeoClan believes
in creating positive change in our communities and inciting hope through
education and art/culture. There are a host of films that have positive
messages and/or important information that many people don't get a chance
to see because of the Hollywood studios and the consistent need to show
more violence and sex than anything with true meaning or something that
actually deals with reality You and I live in! With that said we bring to
you Issues Through Film, a series of film viewing and discussion sessions
that will shed light on films, whether they be from the big studios or not,
that have something to say." For more information, e-mail Clayton <clayton
