Join Oxfam Action Corps - Minnesota and ONE Twin Cities for
Movies in the Park (...that make a difference) at 9 PM on Tuesday, June 16th at Matthews Park (2318 29th Ave. S., Minneapolis).
This free community event features two empowering films. First, watch a preview of Oxfam America's Sisters on the Planet, which tells the story of four inspiring women living on the front lines of climate change. The evening's feature film is Sons of Lwala, the critically-acclaimed documentary of two brothers who, after earning medical degrees in the United States, return home to Kenya to finish establishing a health clinic started by their father who has fallen ill to AIDS.Both movies deal with serious subjects often ignored or misunderstood - but offer a message a hope. This will be the theme of this fun evening: the real potential to help create lasting solutions to poverty and injustice with meaningful action, right here in Minnesota. So come watch these amazing films with us and, if you choose to, stay to learn how you can make a difference without opening your pocketbook from volunteers of the ONE Campaign and Oxfam Action Corps.
Movies in the Park is free and open to the public - you're welcome to join us! Click here to download a pdf flyer with complete details. Contact us at minnesota@oxfamactioncorps.org with questions. Hope to see you there.
