The Whittier Area Peace & Justice Coalition Invites You to A Free Screening of
ReGENERATION Thursday, April 4th - 7:00 PM At <http://www.stmatthiaswhittier.org> St. Matthias Episcopal Church 7056 Washington Avenue, Whittier 90602 Corner of Wardman Street & Washington Avenue ReGENERATION <http://www.regeneration-themovie.com/#ABOUT-TRAILER> www.regeneration-themovie.com/#ABOUT-TRAILER This film explores how today’s generation approaches activism, how it is impacted by technology, our disconnection with nature and history, our consumer culture, and the economic factors holding many of us back from becoming more active participants in our communities. Through a diverse and intelligent series of stories, interviews and insights, we come to a deeper understanding of the influences shaping our society. We have entered uncharted territory, economically, environmentally, and intellectually–and we must look honestly at ourselves to create a sustainable future. The award-winning documentary film, #ReGENERATION, explores the galvanizing forces behind the Occupy Movement and the state of social activism in our society. The film takes an uncompromising look at the challenges facing today’s youth and young adults as they attempt to engage on a myriad of social and political issues. Focused on how our education, parenting, and media can influence us, the film follows three separate walks of life representing today’s generation. Each brings their own unique perspective – from an inspired collective of musicians working outside the corporate system, to a twenty-something conservative family about to welcome the birth of their second child, and a group of five high-school students from the suburbs looking for their place in society. Their stories are interspersed with the knowledge, wisdom, and personal reflections of some of the country’s leading scholars, social activists, and media personalities, including Noam Chomsky, the late Howard Zinn, Adbusters’ Kalle Lasn, Andrew Bacevich, Talib Kweli, and many others. Narrated by Ryan Gosling and featuring a riveting soundtrack from STS9, the film explores how today’s generation approaches activism, how it is impacted by technology, our disconnection with nature and history, our consumer culture, and the economic factors holding many of us back from becoming more active participants in our communities. Through a diverse and intelligent series of stories, interviews and insights, we come to a deeper understanding of the influences shaping our society. We have entered uncharted territory, economically, environmentally, and intellectually–and we must look honestly at ourselves to create a sustainable future. #ReGENERATION is the story of today’s generation… It is the story of us. <http://www.stmatthiaswhittier.org> St. Matthias Episcopal Church N/E corner of Wardman St. and Washington Ave. Washington Ave (not Blvd) runs north and south two short blocks east of Greenleaf Park on Washington (there is additional parking in the back of the church) Walk through the second gate north of Wardman <http://mapq.st/fNC6wI> MAPQUEST directions <http://www.whittierpeace.org/pdf/Regeneration.pdf> PDFprintable PDF flyer for this event Facebook event page <http://www.facebook.com/events/401434063287118> HERE For More Information Contact: 562-587-6270 or 562-233-8579 chare...@aol.com <http://www.facebook.com/pages/Whittier-Area-Peace-and-Justice-Coalition/70538254927> CLICK: go to our Facebook page Spread the word! ~ Charell Webmaster: <http://www.whittierpeace.org/> www.WhittierPeace.org Whittier Area Peace and Justice Coalition [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:laamn-unsubscr...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:laamn-subscr...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:laamn-dig...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:laamn-ow...@egroups.com?subject=laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:la...@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/laamn@egroups.com> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
