[BES Friends] Ironweed Film Club this Friday; new MeetUps

[Emil Volcheck]

Hello, friends,

I'd like to announce this Friday's selections for the BES Ironweed
Film Club.  First, I'd like to share news that the Baltimore Secular
Humanists have created MeetUps for two upcoming events at BES

BES Ironweed Film Club

Friday, 12/10, 7:30 pm at BES

Our Feature is "Back to the Garden":

    http://www.ironweedfilms.com/back-to-the-garden

In 1988, filmmaker Kevin Tomlinson filmed & interviewed a group of
back-to-the-land "hippies" living off-grid, insulated from mainstream
culture.  In 2006, he tracked down his subjects again to find out what
had become of their families' utopian plans and dreams.  This film
captures a time-lapse view of these back-to-the-landers and shows that
what seemed a fringe movement of extremes in the 60's was actually a
prescient foretelling of the green revolution.

Short selections

We will first show one Ironweed short selection and a short YouTube
video from the International Humanist and Ethical Union.

A Circle and Three Lines

    http://www.ironweedfilms.com/a-circle-with-three-lines

Do you know what the peace symbol really means? The peace symbol
unifies people around the world - crossing language barriers and
inspiring hope. A Circle and Three Lines follows its history from the
50's through today, challenging us to remember its past and take
responsibility for its future.

Hope to see you there,

--Emil
