panel discussion will follow the screening Singer Alanis Morissette narrates as
documentary filmmakers explore the already realized effects of global warming.
Numerous science experts review a growing body of evidence of the grave
consequences of a changing climate, and explore how individuals, communities
and organizations across America are creating new approaches to safeguard
future generations. The documentary also looks at evidence that human
activities are provoking an unprecedented era of atmospheric warming and
climatic events: more drought, wildfires and flooding; polar melting; more
powerful storms; and more variable weather. Tropical diseases are moving north;
childhood respiratory illnesses are skyrocketing; and in the last three decades
more than 30 diseases new to science have emerged.

FREE FILM:
Kent State:  The Day the War Came Home
Free Speech Zone
2144 South Highland Drive

The Kent State shootings, also known as May 4 or the Kent State Massacre,
occurred at Kent State University in the city of

Kent, Ohio, and involved the shooting of students by the Ohio National Guard on
Monday, May 4, 1970. The altercation killed

four students and wounded nine others.

The shootings were the culmination of four days of increasingly agitated
demonstrations by members of the student body. The

students were protesting the American invasion of Cambodia which President
Richard Nixon launched on April 25, and announced

in a television address five days later.

This documentary film includes interview with students and National Guardsmen
who were there.

FREE FILM:  Shocking and Awful:A Grassroots Response to War and Occupation, Part
3
Free Speech Zone
2144 South Highland Drive

“Shocking and awful” is the way many people view the current situation (2004) in
Iraq and the United States. The war

continues to take its toll on Iraqi civilians, international aid workers,
journalists and U.S. troops. Here at home we are

seeing how waging a “perpetual war” is affecting our own lives as well.
