SUMMARY:FL NOW Screening: "LAKOTA NATION VS UNITED STATES" Sunday\, November 16th\, 2pm
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this month’s film screening: Lakota Nation Vs United States \nAs the season approaches when many celebrate without recognizing the ongoing history of Indigenous resistance or acknowledging settler violence\, this film invites us to reflect\, learn\, and listen. \nDirected by Jesse Short Bull and Laura Tomaselli\, and narrated by acclaimed poet Layli Long Soldier\, Lakota Nation vs. United States tells the story of the Lakota people’s resistance to the U.S. government’s theft of the Black Hills\, land that was promised back to them by treaty\, later seized and stolen again. \nThrough archival footage\, interviews\, and the voices of Lakota leaders and community members\, the film traces generations of broken treaties\, systemic dispossession\, and cultural erasure\, while highlighting the resilience and strength of the Lakota Nation. \nFollowing the screening\, we will host an open community conversation on Indigenous resistance\, sovereignty\, land justice\, and how struggles for liberation are interconnected across movements. \nCome watch this must see film with us! \nSunday\, November 16th\, 2pm on Zoom \nSignup\nLakota Nation vs United States website

SUMMARY:FL NOW Movie Event -  Sunday\, October 19th\, 2pm - movie "GET OUT"
DESCRIPTION:GET OUT Screening- Sign up here \nOne of the biggest movies about race to ever go mainstream\, the Academy Award-nominated Get Out from Jordan Peele (who has never made a bad movie) has probably said more about the hypocrisy of white Liberalism and its intersection with black culture than any other film in American history. The movie is about 50% humorous\, 50% terrifying\, and 100% insightful. You’ve probably already seen it but see it again. It has layers and there’s probably still a lot for you to uncover.
