We will be continuing our watch on the Philly DA Series! On Wednesday, June 16th at 6:00pm PT, we will be watching Episode 6 about the opioid crisis. Please email us at Meaningfulmoviesspokane@gmail.com to get links for movie and discussion. You can choose to watch the movie on your own via PBS Passport or video app. We will start the movie at 6:00pm and discussion at 7:00pm PT!In 2017, Philadelphia had one of the highest incarceration rates of any major city in the United States. And it’s become the epicenter of a historic experiment that could shape the future of prosecution in America for decades to come. When civil rights attorney Larry Krasner mounted a long shot campaign to become District Attorney—and won—he pledged to end mass incarceration by changing the culture of the criminal justice system from within. With unprecedented access to Krasner’s office, Philly D.A. explores over the course of eight episodes the most pressing social issues of our time—police brutality, the opioid crisis, gun violence, and mass incarceration—through the lens of one man attempting fundamental overhaul from within the system.Sponsors: Independent LensFacebook Page: www.facebook.com/events/798958514324651?acontext=%7B%22event_action_history%22%3A[%7B%22mechanism%22%3A%22your_upcoming_events_unit%22%2C%22surface%22%3A%22bookmark%22%7D]%7DTo learn more about this and other online events, go to:MeaningfulMovies.orgmeaningfulmovies.org/events/philly-da-episode-6 ...

Are you interested in learning about Ted Ngoy? A refugee from Cambodia who arrived in America in the 1970’s, who built a multimillion dollar company by baking donuts? If so, come join us on Thursday, June 17th @ 6:30pm PT for a screening and discussion on the film “The Donut King”! Be sure to register!REGISTER HERE: www.eventbrite.com/e/the-donut-king-virtual-film-screening-and-discussion-tickets-153548659173“The Donut King” is Ted Ngoy’s rags-to-riches story of a refugee escaping Cambodia, arriving in America in 1975, and building an unlikely multimillion-dollar empire baking America’s favorite pastry, the donut. Ngoy sponsored hundreds of visas for incoming refugees and helped them get on their feet by teaching them the ways of the donut business. By 1979, he was living the American Dream—but a great rise often comes with a great fall. “The Donut King” is a tale of hard knocks, redemption, wealth, survival, risk, and donuts.Join Meaningful Movies Tacoma, KBTC Public Television, Tacoma Refugee Choir and Asia Pacific Cultural Center for a free screening and panel discussion of this award winning film.Sponsors: KBTC Tacoma Refugee Choir Asia Pacific Cultural CenterFacebook Page: fb.me/e/EOioemibTo learn more about this and other online events, go to:MeaningfulMovies.orgmeaningfulmovies.org/events/258406/ ...

We are two weeks away from our first youth lead event, "The Power of Us"! As well as 10 days away from the last day for our art competition, The Power of Art! Information about these two events is posted below! You do not want to miss either of them!Many youth wonder whether or not they will inherit a world with clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, food that is safe to eat and wilderness left to explore. At a time when all these things are threatened by pollution and climate change, how do we support a healthy planet in the years to come? This movie and community conversation will delve into these questions.FILM DESCRIPTION: 82-year-old retired Chicagoland engineer Jim Goodman and his wife Annie are alarmed about the ever more severe climate change crisis, and know their generation has failed to adequately address it. With the environmental clock ticking, the Goodmans enlist the aid of some equally concerned young people to unleash their creativity and usher in a new generation of climate change problem-solvers. Hear from young people who have been directly impacted by the effects of climate change, like Sean Newsom who survived the 2018 wildfires in Paradise, California, and those that are working to make a difference, like Shreya Ramachandran, the high school senior who invented an innovative solution for reusing greywater to address water scarcity. With commentary from experts like Susan Casey-Lefkowitz of the National Resources Defense Council and astronaut and physicist John Grunsfeld, The Power of Us underscores the urgency of the climate crisis and shows the power of an intergenerational, collaborative movement to fight climate change, with youth leading the charge into the future. This youth-organized event has been sponsored by South Seattle Climate Action and Mt Baker Meaningful Movies.COMPETITION: Open to individuals 9 to 19 years old.1-3 minute multimedia or one-page digital or digitally scanned arts project inspired by the impact of climate change. Your art project could be as simple as creating a short video of you or your friends and family members talking about why climate education is important; or what climate justice means to you. Or, your art project could be a digital poster showing both images of the impact of climate change as well as your hopes for a better future. Or, you can send in an audio recording of a spoken word poem or a song you have written about climate change. You decide. Due Jun 20th to our youth committee, one grand prize winner ($50 for self, $50 for charity of choice) and four silver medalists ($25 prize), honor awards to runners up.
