Gabriela Flora, Central Region Organizer for the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), will show a film on the topic of globalization and immigration, followed by discussion.

According to its flyer, the film, Morristown: In the Air and Sea, "... is a working-class look at globalization. From the factories and fields of Morristown, TN, to the maquilladoras and hometowns of Mexico, the film weaves together the plight of immigrant workers and U.S. workers in the fact of globalization as they all fight for economic justice."

    • “ Somewhat interesting and enjoyable. Those who have seen some of the better documentaries on PBS would have been familiar with the info in the film; it was of that caliber. The comment session was a little short and because attendance was sparse, that could have been better (no fault of anyone). But it was informative. ”
    • “ It was a very informative film, with a good discussion afterwards. ”
    • “ The film and Gabriella Flora were most interesting presentations. I had already been aware of the plight of minorities and migrant workers in the US. I think it important that other nations understand that America is not necessarily the land of plenty for everyone; and that injustice is often a part of the lives of many Americans including white American workers. Greed and selfish motivation is an unfortunate offshoot of capitalism. Thank you for responding to my email which included the site of the discussion. Lou Mazzola ”
