Fundraising Film Series for Two

Different Avenues is a DC-based non-profit that provides services to homeless youth, most of whom are queer. The group is joining together with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers – a Florida-based organization largely made up of Latino, Haitian and Mayan immigrant farm workers advocating for themselves and their communities – for a fundraising film series.

The film series will explore issues important to both groups: the prison system and criminal injustice, people of color struggles, religious fundamentalism, and queer identity and explorations of gender. This week, you can see a double-feature: "Jesus Camp" and "Jonestown: The Life and Death of the Peoples Temple." The series is free and open to the public, but a $5 donation is being asked from all who can afford it.

When: Thursday, July 27, at 7 p.m.
Where: 1361 Monroe St. NW
