About Cinema Politica Fredericton

SLBMPBPic.jpg

Cinema Politica Fredericton is happy to announce that they will be screening a weekly documentary to inform and engage audiences on important socio-political, cultural, environmental and economic issues. The films will take us to places such as Afghanistan, Palestine, Haiti, Guatemala and indigenous territories in this country where Canadian policies are leaving an impact worthy of deeper critical examination, analysis and discussion. The films will be screened on Fridays at 7:00 PM and will be followed by a discussion at approximately 8:30 PM. The films will be screened at Conserver House, 180 St. John St., Fredericton. The films are free and so is the popcorn! Donations are encouraged and any funds raised will go towards local organizing efforts committed to positive social change. All are welcome.
