Since 1961, Rotary has been active in Nigeria focusing on improving health and living conditions. A globally observed milestone, Nigeria has been polio free for 25 months thanks to Rotary activities. Join us Thursday as we focus on 2 great movies about hope and peace in Nigeria.
 
The Imam and the Pastor
The Imam and the Pastor captures former members of competing militias in Nigeria who experienced personal transformations through their friendship and now work cooperatively.
 
This documentary shows building relationships between Muslim and Christian clergy and leading training in conflict prevention, mediation, and reconciliation.
 
 
Uplifting Down
Uplifting Down: Nigeria
Life, liberty and equality are human rights that are not necessarily afforded Nigerians with special needs. Uplifting Down:Nigeria tells the story of how a mother with a big heart started a small school to make a difference. She became the founder and chief advocate for Down Syndrome Foundation Nigeria.

Join filmmaker Steve Gatlin for a post film discussion.
 

Films to be shown Saturday, March 12

God Grew Tired of Us
The film God Grew Tired of Us explores the story of three "Lost Boys of Sudan," a group of Dinka youth who fled civil war in their native country of Sudan, spent a decade growing up in a Kenyan refugee camp, and were eventually resettled in the United States.

 

HAPPY
Does money make you HAPPY? Kids and family? Your work? Do you live in a world that values and promotes happiness and well-being? Are we in the midst of a happiness revolution?

HAPPY is a film that sets out to answer these questions and more. Taking us from the bayous of Louisiana to the deserts of Namibia, from the beaches of Brazil to the villages of Okinawa, HAPPY explores the secrets behind our most valued emotion.

Famed Comedian and actor Michael Pritchard will provide a light hearted look at the
topic of peace and share the impact of this movie.
