With CD technology, there is now a whole lot of material fairly easily available, and this is an opportunity we should exploit. Prakash Lohale, O.P., of the Dominican Training Centre, Moira, who has taken the initiative in this matter, has also kindly agreed to be the host for this forum. The objectives of the Video Forum are: 1. To bring people together to see films/documentaries on various social issues. 2. To stimulate discussion, reflection, sharing and critical thinking on these issues. We have some films/documentaries already with us. We also request people who have films on social issues with them to lend these films for viewing. The forum will have a screening followed by a discussion on the first Saturday of every month from 4.00-6.00 p.m. at the Dominican Training Centre (DTC), Pirazona, Moira 403507, Tel. No. 2470398.
