Cinema Politica Truro was launched to provide Truro, Nova Scotia, with access to information on social and political issues not normally portrayed on mainstream media, and to serve as an open arena for discussion and learning.
Film screenings take place every second Monday at the Fair Trade CoCo Community Cafe on Prince Street, and consist of a brief introduction to the film and discussion questions, film viewing, and a facilitated discussion after the viewing. At times when qualified speakers are available there will be a short presentation prior to the film.
The overall aim is to inspire discussion about the films in the series, to create an open space for criticism and evaluation, and to layout some preliminary resources for further information or action on the issue(s).
