Documentary Films seen—justwatch.com (see where located)
The Documentary Film Group hosts special guests and lively discussions
about the films we watch. The format is like a book group: everyone
watches the film independently, then we meet on Zoom to discuss it. We
are careful to choose documentaries available on Amazon, Netflix, PBS,
Kanopy, YouTube, etc.. There may be a price to watch these from those
platforms.
Everyone is expected at some point to choose a film for the group and help
lead the discussion.
This coming year, we will meet at least once a month ( maybe every other
week depending on interest) on Thursdays, alternating between 11 am and
7 pm. We will try ZOOM for our meetings.

personally involved in impactful movements.
