Cosponsored by the Dallas Peace & Justice Center
The First Tuesday Social Justice Film Festival is screening films focusing on social justice in the sanctuary of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Oak Cliff. We hope you'll leave inspired and ready to hit the road in your own quest for a better world.
The best way to make a difference in the world is to first learn how others have done so. Is there a film you'd love to see to inspire you? Perhaps you have that one movie that just recharges you before a social justice battle. If so, please share with us, and we'll see about putting it on our list of films to show at the UUCOC First Tuesday Social Justice Film Festival.

“How It Feels to Be Free”
“How It Feels to Be Free” is a documentary, at once sobering and enchanting, that interweaves portraits of six legendary stars, all of them Black women (Abbey Lincoln, Nina Simone, Pam Grier, Diahann Carroll, Lena Horne, and Cicely Tyson), telling the story of the trails they blazed, the ceilings they broke, the doors they kicked open, the splendor they achieved, and the wounds they endured. -- Owen Gleiberman, Variety.com
Join us on Tuesday, September 3rd, for a free film screening in celebration of these trailblazing women of color, and in acknowledgement of the barriers they faced. Barriers that will only be fully shattered when we ALL put our shoulders to the wheel!
