Free Press free movie – “Healthcare – the Movie”

Tuesday, March 27, 2012 7:30pm.

This documentary provides the real story of how the health care systems in Canada and the United States evolved to be so completely different, when at one point they were essentially the same. Most people under the age of 50, in both countries, are not aware of the intensity of the political struggle that led to the universal medical care system in Canada. Nor are they aware of the public relations campaigns, still active today, that have been prevalent in the United States since the early 1900’s to dissuade the public from supporting national health care. Co-sponsored by the Single-Payer Action Network-Ohio, Columbus Film Council, the Drexel, the Central Ohio Green Education Fund, and the Free Press.

Free Press FREE Movie: Brother Towns

Tuesday, January 24• 7:30pm – 9:00pm
Brother Towns/Pueblos Hermanos is a story about two communities in two different nations and how they intertwine. Ultimately, it is about how we define ourselves as nations and neighbors, our vision of community, and our efforts to connect to one another. News stories about immigrants in the United States appear on TV and in the papers daily. But we don’t have to listen to the news to know that undocumented immigrants live in nearly every community across the U.S. Thus Brother Towns is a story that also affects nearly every city and town in Mexico and Central America, and one that helps us think about not only citizenship, but what it means to be human. http://www.brothertowns.com/
