Film Series “Mother: Caring for the 7 Billion” Sunday, February 19th

February 19: “Mother: Caring for the 7 Billion” breaks a 40-year taboo by bringing to light an issue that silently fuels our largest environmental, humanitarian and social crises — population growth. Since the 1960s the world population has nearly doubled, adding more than 3 billion people. At the same time, talking about population has become politically incorrect because of the sensitivity of the issues surrounding the topic — religion, economics, family planning and gender inequality.

See a teaser clip here.

Films are shown at 7 p.m. Sundays at the Center, 96 Harlow Street, Bangor, and are followed by a discussion.

March 18: “Poto Mitan: Haitian Women, Pillars of the Global Economy,” part of Women’s History Celebration. Told through the lives of five compelling Haitian women, “Poto Mitan” gives an inside perspective on globalization, Haiti’s current crisis, and the resilient women challenging this system.

April 29: “The Age of Stupid” (part of Earth Week). This ambitious documentary/drama/animation hybrid stars Pete Postlethwaite as an archivist in the devastated world of the future, asking the question: “Why didn’t we stop climate change when we still had the chance?” He looks back on footage of real people around the world in the years leading up to 2015 before runaway climate change took place.

May 20: “Entre Nos,” inspired by a true story, focuses on the experiences of a courageous and adoring mother, Mariana, and her two remarkable children from Colombia. It raises the need for comprehensive immigration reform to keep families together, protect workers, and provide a path to citizenship. Michael Moore selected it as one of the 20 Best Pictures of the year.
