To be determined

We are viewing many films and will post our next choice here soon.

Capitol Punishment featuring Nick Searcy:"Told through the eyes of the people who were there on the ground, Capitol Punishment shows the world the true story of January 6, 2021. Everything that we are being told is a lie and Americans are being persecuted to support that lie.  January 6 was years in the making and the threat to the survival of America as we know it, has never been greater."

Uncle Tom II is an odyssey depicting the gradual demoralization of America through Marxist infiltration of its institutions. The film explores how this deceptive ideology has torn apart the fabric of society while using black America as its number one tool for its destruction.  It takes audience into black America’s often eradicated history of honorable men, entrepreneurship, prosperity, faith, and patriotism, to its current perceived state of anger, discontent and victimhood and unveils the Marxist strategy of creating false racial tension between Americans, with its ultimate goal of obtaining power, destroying capitalism and replacing God with government.
This is a two hour movie but we want to respect people’s need to get home. Therefore, we will once again stop the film at 8:45 to allow for discussion. Then at 9:00, we will show the rest of the movie to anyone interested. 

Please note that the first movie, Uncle Tom, is available for free on Prime. We don’t believe it is necessary to have seen it first. 

We recommend that you consider reading Color, Communism and Common Sense by Manning Johnson, available as a 14 page PDF here.  This pamphlet was mentioned during the discussion of our last film.

WHOSE CHILDREN ARE THEY? is the groundbreaking and powerfully persuasive documentary featuring brave teachers, empowered parents, and front-line experts who pull back the curtain about what is truly happening in our public schools today.

This film will be the starting point for a full cultural conversation about the need to return to the original intent of education, not indoctrination. “Whose Children Are They?” will inform and equip parents, teachers, grandparents and concerned citizens, to partner together for the innocence and well-being of our children. It will also educate all education stakeholders on the corrupting influence of teachers’ unions, and the vital importance of removing them from our schools, in addition to educating parents on the need to stand with good teachers, and empower teachers to stage a mass Union Exit.

The Rev. C.L. Bryant shows how people can break free from a form of modern slavery caused by relying on welfare.    Rev. Bryant hosts a nightly talk show over KEEL radio in his native  Shreveport, Louisiana. The film premiered in Los Angeles on January 13, 2012. The film expresses Rev. Bryant's belief that the African-American community, "has traded one form of tyranny for another" by "buying into the entitlement mindset of  Progressives. 

The shooting lasted on six tense days in June 1967, but the Six Day War has never really ended. Every crisis that has ripped through this region in the ensuing decades stems from those six fateful days. On its 40th anniversary, the region remains trapped in conflict and is every bit as explosive as it was in 1967. "Six Days" chronicles the events of forty years ago with a fresh historical perspective. Beginning with the buildup for the war, and the political and military maneuvering of Israeli Prime Minister Levi Eshkol and Egyptian President Jame Adel Nasser, the film takes us through the six days of fighting, the war with Jordan, the occupation of the West Bank and the annexation of Jerusalem. Featuring stunning archival footage and first-hand accounts of the war from both the Israeli and Arab soldiers who fought it, "Six Days" explores how these events became the flash point in history that reshaped the regional political landscape, destroyed old systems and brought new forces to the surface. Rarely in modern times has so short and localized a conflict had such profound global consequences.

Following the film, we will have a speaker who fought in the Six Day War.  He has a fascinating story and has agreed to share his experiences with us following the film.  During these days of increased anti-semitism, it is vital that we all know the history of Israel.
It's important to RSVP as this event will fill up.  Email [email protected].

The story of Irena Sendler, a social worker who was part of the Polish underground during World War II and was arrested by the Nazis for saving the lives of nearly 2,500 Jewish children by smuggling them out of the Warsaw ghetto.

America Lost is a feature documentary that explores life in three “forgotten American cities”—Youngstown, Ohio, Memphis, Tennessee, and Stockton, California.

The film reveals the dramatic decline of the American interior through a combination of emotional personal stories and thoughtful conservative commentary. Filmmaker Christopher F. Rufo spent five years gathering these intimate portraits of Americans on the edge, including an ex-steelworker scrapping abandoned homes to survive, a recently incarcerated father trying to rebuild his life, and a single mother dreaming of escaping her blighted urban neighborhood.

Ultimately, despite these grave challenges, the film offers a glimpse of hope for rebuilding America’s families and communities from the bottom up.

We anticipate a full crowd for this so although film night doesn't normally require an RSVP, we ask that you let us know if you are coming. 

Monumental, In Search of America's National Treasure

Directed by Kirk Cameron

Monumental is the story of America’s beginnings. Presented, produced, and starring Kirk Cameron, the 90-minute true story follows this father of six across Europe and the U.S. as he seeks to discover America’s true “national treasure” – the people, places, and principles that made America the freest, most prosperous and generous nation the world has ever known.

Monumental is heralded as “inspiring,” “beautifully executed,” “powerful,” and “one meant to teach.”

Long regarded as “the land of opportunity,” there’s no question the tiny band of religious outcasts who founded this country hit upon a formula for success that went way beyond what they could have imagined. How else can you explain the fact that they established a nation that has become the best example of civil, economic and religious liberty the world has ever known?

What formula did they discover? What motivated them to come here in the first place? More importantly, how can we apply these same foundational truths today?

I read the disturbing statistic that 89% of the millennials in Britain think that life is meaningless.  While on my trip, I made the unusual choice of reading Douglas Murray's book: The Strange Death of Europe.  A major premise of the book is that Europe has grown tired and no longer thinks of their culture, and indeed Western Civilization, as worth preserving.  We must not let that happen here

Therefore, this month's viewing fare will be about how we are here, why we are here and what makes America exceptional and worth preserving.  The evenings videos include:

• The Privileged Planet by Discovery Institute. We are most definitely not a random, meaningless accident!
• Video 7 from Wallbuilder's Building on the American Heritage Series: The Truth of American Exceptionalism.  Last fall, we enjoyed the first 4 videos from this series.  Special note: Rick Green, the moderator of this series will be the keynote speaker at Eastside Republican Club's Christmas Banquet on December 7! 

An eye-opening documentary, The Creepy Line reveals the stunning degree to which society is manipulated by Google and Facebook and blows the lid off the remarkably subtle – hence powerful – manner in which they do it. The Creepy Line is a title culled from the words of former Google CEO Eric Schmidt, when during a 2010 interview he explained Google’s code of conduct: “The Google policy on a lot of things is to get right up to the creepy line and not cross it.” However, as Dr. Robert Epstein explains in the film, “Google crosses the creepy line every day”. Containing ground-breaking interviews with Jordan B. Peterson, Peter Schweizer, and others, The Creepy Line offers an explosive look at the meddling and intervening done by Google and Facebook on their supposedly “neutral platforms”. The Creepy Line takes the conversation about data privacy and control further than ever before by examining what Google and Facebook do once they control a user’s data. Not only is this data sold to the highest bidder, but it is used it to mold, massage, and manipulate the public consciousness while influencing opinion on a vast scale - all with the goal of transforming society to fit their worldview. Offering first-hand accounts, scientific experiments and detailed analysis, The Creepy Line examines what is at risk when these two tech titans have free reign to utilize the public’s most private and personal data to manipulate society. There is no question that the “creepy line” is getting ever-creepier, and that the tech giants have crossed it.

The film is the shocking true story of the investigation and trial of Dr. Kermit Gosnell - his 30 year killing spree and the political and media establishment that tried to cover it up. Originally investigated for illegal prescription drug sales, a raid by DEA, FBI & local law enforcement revealed crimes they could not have expected within the clinic.

Based on the NY Times Bestseller — Gosnell: The Untold Story of America’s Most Prolific Serial Killer

We will be viewing clips from a variety of experts on Islam, looking to accomplish three goals:

1. Learn about the basic history and beliefs and how it has affected Western Civilization

2. Prepare to respond to common arguments from those that do not understand the history and current goals of Islam

3.  Explore the impact Islam is having on our nation and our allies.

This film is about the campaign against the slave trade in the British Empire, led by William Wilberforce, who was responsible for steering anti-slave trade legislation through the British parliament. The title is a reference to the hymn "Amazing Grace". The film also recounts the experiences of John Newton as a crewman on a slave ship and subsequent religious conversion, which inspired his writing of the poem later used in the hymn. Newton is portrayed as a major influence on Wilberforce and the abolition movement.

The film premiered on 16 September 2006 at the Toronto International Film Festival, followed by showings at the Heartland Film Festival, the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, and the European Film Market, before opening in wide US release on 23 February 2007,[1] which coincided with the 200th anniversary of the date the British parliament voted to ban the slave trade.

  On May 31st, we will explore who we are and what makes us exceptional by viewing select videos from David Barton's American Heritage series. 

Filmmaker Curtis Bowers hit the road in 2010 with his film AGENDA, people began to wake up. AGENDA became one of the best selling independent documentaries of all time, and grass roots America finally had a tool to connect the dots. Join Curtis Bowers as he heads out again to expose the Masters of Deceit and their purposeful, premeditated, treasonous attacks on our freedom. 85 min.

When Idaho Legislator Curtis Bowers wrote a "letter to the editor" about the drastic changes in America's culture, it became the feature story on the evening news, people protested at the Capitol, and for weeks the local newspapers were filled with responses. He realized then... he'd hit on something. Ask almost anyone and you'll hear, "Communism is dead! The Berlin Wall came down." Thought the word communism isn't used anymore, this film will show the ideas behind it are alive and well. Join Bowers for a fascinating look at the people and groups that have successfully targeted America's morality and freedom in their effort to grind America down. It's a well documented AGENDA. 

The film traces Reagan's remarkable life, how he formed his conservative principles and how he came to view America as a "shining city on a hill." It features eyewitness accounts from family members, cabinet officials and heads-of-state that describe how President Reagan brought about the collapse of the Soviet Union

The Enemies Within - Communists, Socialists, Progressives in the U.S. Congress

Directed by Trevor Loudon

Writer and producer Trevor Loudon exposes how fewer than 20,000 U.S. communists, socialists and extreme "progressives" have been able to influence the politicians and even write the laws that control the lives of over 300 million Americans.  He details how they infiltrated the unions, used their money and leverage to purge the Democratic Party leadership of moderates and conservatives and then used their influence to pursue a radical agenda designed to fundamentally transform America, aided by a cowardly and complicit "mainstream media."

Duke Pesta on Common Core - Six Years Later

If you have neighbors that voted for Bernie, legislators that support liberty-stealing bills, family members that believe global warming is a greater threat than Islamic terrorism and children that have abandoned your faith and values in favor of "social justice and tolerance", then this is a must-attend event. Our schools are indoctrinating the children of America into pro-socialist, hyper-sexual, intolerant snowflakes that believe America is oppressive and that utopia can be achieved via global governance.  The video and discussion will revolve around how our education system arrived at the point where our children can list 59 genders but can't name their state capital and revere Al Gore while repudiating Thomas Jefferson.
  
We will be viewing a video of Duke Pesta addressing a group on the topic of education and Common Core.  Duke is a compelling speaker that has addressed more than 450 groups across this nation and spoken in front of 19 state legislatures.  Join us to learn what is happening to the children of our nation, including here in Washington state - and what can be done about it.  Be prepared for a fascinating video and a lively discussion!  We will not take back our country until we take back our schools!

Seven Days in May

An unpopular U.S. President manages to get a nuclear disarmament treaty through the Senate, but finds that the nation is turning against him. Jiggs Casey, a Marine Colonel, finds evidence that General Scott, the wildly popular head of the Joint Chiefs and certain Presidential Candidate in 2 years is not planning to wait. Casey goes to the president with the information and a web of intrigue begins with each side unsure of who can be trusted. 

A film about the power of central banks & the transformation of the economy.

Central Banks are some of the most secretive and misunderstood institutions in the world. What powers do they wield? Whose interests do they serve? How do their actions affect our everyday lives?

In 2003, Richard Werner released a book by the title of “Princes of the Yen”, which cut through the complex jargon of central bankers and for the first time made this obscure world accessible to the public. The book became a number one bestseller in Japan. Yet, over ten years after it was first released, the English version, is still on its first edition!

Told within the context of the history of 20th Century Japan, Richard Werner meticulously solves the puzzle of central banks, and explains the social, political and economic impacts their actions have. The documentary provides the viewer with a new understanding of economics and shows how events that may appear disjointed in popular discourse are in reality intimately intertwined.

“Princes of the Yen” is an independent, self-funded documentary. It was made as a sequel to 97% Owned, a film about how money is created and the impact its creation has. We realized after making that film that we did not understand how central banks fitted into the picture. “Princes of the Yen” fills that gap, shining a light on a world hidden behind closed doors and obscured by complex jargon, a world which would much rather stay out of sight. And when all the layers are peeled away, what remains, is the understanding of the role central banks play, in inducing and directing change. Change, for which they have no mandate.

“Because only power that is hidden, is power that endures.”

For decades, standardized testing has been a part of public education. Within the last ten years, however, the testing has taken on a more important, and possibly more damaging, role. Test scores, mistakenly viewed as effective assessments of student ability and teacher/school effectiveness, are anything but. This film sheds light on the invalid nature of these tests, the terrible consequences of high-stakes testing, and the big money that's involved.

Join host Michael Matheson Miller on a journey around the world to explore the foundations of human flourishing, and learn how people are moving toward partnerships and pursuing entrepreneurial solutions to poverty rooted in the creative capacity of the human person made in the image of God. Meet religious and political leaders, entrepreneurs, missionaries, and renowned development experts, and discover the powerful resources Christianity brings to the pursuit of human flourishing.

This film will be shown in 3 parts:  September 24, 2015; October 29, 2015; January 28, 2016.

Paula Baruffi will host this film night

"FOR THE GOOD OF ALL" is a PBS "Frontline" documentary about land acquisition in the Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area in Ohio by the National Park Service. If you want to see the damage done to a community by land acquisition and condemnation (eminent domain), this is the film for you. While "For the Good of All" examines the National Park Service, it is just as applicable to Forest Service, BLM and Fish and Wildlife Service areas. The techniques and tools the Federal agents use are the same.

Experts have acclaimed "For The Good Of All" as a landmark media investigation of a runaway Federal bureaucracy. You can watch as the film documents a four-year struggle for survival by a community in Ohio facing land acquisition and condemnation. Follow as real people are interviewed throughout their fight to keep their homes over the four years. See what finally happens to them, their families and their homes.

Please arrive early so we can begin on time!

Are we controlled? To what extent and by whom? What does it mean for humanity's future? The enormous implications of these questions deter most of us who must deal with the daily consequences of the answers. STATE OF MIND digs deeply into the sources to reveal that much of that which we believe to be truth has been deception, deliberately implanted in our consciousness to erect a "tyranny over the minds of men". From cradle to grave our parents, peers, institutions and society inform our values and behaviors. But this process has been hijacked. STATE OF MIND examines the science that has evolved over generations to keep us firmly in place and maintain the status quo so that dictators, power brokers and corporate puppeteers may profit from our ignorance and slavery. From the anvil of compulsory schooling to media and entertainment, we are kept in perpetual bondage to the ideas that shape our actions. STATE OF MIND delves into the abyss to bring to light the manipulation and shocking and suppressed examples that reveal the true agendas at work. From the ancient roots of the control of human behavior to its maturity in the mind control experiments of intelligence agencies and other organs of manipulation, STATE OF MIND reveals a plan for the future that drives home the dreadful price of our ignorance. We are prepared for a new paradigm. Will we choose our own paths or have one selected for us? STATE OF MIND unveils the answers that may decide whether humankind will fulfill its destiny or be forever shackled to its own creation.

Building the Machine - a Film About Common Core

"Building the Machine" introduces the public to the Common Core States Standards Initiative (CCSSI) and it's effects on our children's & grandchildren's education.  Everyone - parents, grandparents, officials, & the American public- should be involved in this national decision regardless of their political persuasion. 

Still Mine

"Still Mine" is a 2013 Canadian romantic drama film.  Written and directed by Michael McGowan and based on a true story, the film stars James Cromwell as Craig Morrison, a farmer in rural St. Martins, New Brunswick who battles a government bureaucrat (Jonathan Potts) for the right to build a new house for his ailing wife Irene (Geneviève Bujold) when their existing home no longer suits her health needs.

Border, The Divide between the American Dream and American Nightmare

BLUE, A Movie and an Idea

Indoctrination

Sadly, most American Christian children are being discipled daily by pro-choice secularists, atheists, evolutionists, politicized bureaucrats, far left unions and oftentimes even child molesters. Under the guise of education the publicly funded monopoly of Government schools has engaged in a vast program of social engineering designed to eradicate the Christian faith from American life. This film warns Christians about the subversive and anti-Christian nature of the American education system and calls on all Christians to participate in a mass exodus from government education for the sake of their children and the future of America.

• Who established the American public schools system?
• Are my kids physically and morally safe in the schools?
• Are the public schools religiously neutral?
• Shouldn’t Christians be “salt and light” in the schools?
• Can the public school system be fixed or redeemed?

Runaway Slave - The New Underground Railroad

Why growing Dependency on Big Government is Destroying America In RUNAWAY SLAVE, Rev. C.L. Bryant journeys across America to find answers. A one-time NAACP local chapter president, Rev. Bryant discovers that by buying into the entitlement mindset of "progressives," the black community has traded one form of tyranny for another.Using leading black conservatives as "conductors," Rev. Bryant believes it is time for a new Underground Railroad to help liberate all Americans from the Government plantation that has left the black community dealing with a new form of slavery: entitlements.

Molon Labe “Come and Get Them”

How the Second Amendment GuaranteesAmerica's Freedom

History has demonstrated time and again that, to the degree citizens are unarmed or disarmed, government suppression and tyranny are inevitable.The Founders of the United States knew these lessons well. This is why the U.S. Constitution not only acknowledges and guarantees the "right to keep and bear arms -- but the DUTY to be well-organized as state Militia reporting to their respective governors.But this duty, as well as the Militia, are often misunderstood. As a result, a "gun-control lobby" has been steadily eroding the original intent of the Founders by passing unconstitutional gun control "laws," funding a standing, global army, and destroying the 300-year old Militia system established by WE THE PEOPLE.MOLON LABE -- inspired by The Sword and Sovereignty by Edwin Vieira, Jr., available at Amazon -- explores the "power of the sword" and how it guarantees American's freedom.

Darwin's Dilemma

Darwin’s Dilemma explores one of the great mysteries in the history of life: The geologically-sudden appearance of dozens of major complex animal types in the fossil record without any trace of the gradual transitional steps Charles Darwin had predicted. Frequently described as “the Cambrian Explosion,” the development of these new animal types required a massive increase in genetic information. “The big question that the Cambrian Explosion poses is where does all that new information come from?”

Monumental - In Search of America's National Treasure

Follow Kirk Cameron across Europe and the U.S. as he seeks to discover the people, places and principles that made America the freest, most prosperous and generous nation the world has ever known.

Peddling Influence

From the blatant falsifying of news to the lack of real integrity in the media this ninety-minute film touches on several pieces of information that have shaped our opinions and our thoughts, and most have been based on deception, persuasion and money... instead of the basic facts.  

•                           Who is responsible when the media fabricates the news?
•                           Where does our mainstream media get their news? Is it accurate?
•                           How many wars have been directly influenced and driven by the media?
•                           How does our media choose its “experts”?
•                           Does advertising play a roll in what media decides is newsworthy? 
•                           How does our media use crises to push the government agenda?
•                How do we correct the problems that exist in the mainstream media?

The Tea Party A Documentary Film

The Tea Party movement of 2009 shocked the political establishment, the nation at large and left a big media machine dizzy in its wake. How did it happen? Where did it come from? Now, experience the story of the movement that's driving our national dialogue against big government spending and a Constitution under assault. "Tea Party: The Documentary Film" follows the struggles of five grassroots individuals and their transformation from home town rally goers and rally organizers to national activists in the 912 March on Washington. In the process, the film reveals what is at the heart of this nationwide surge of civic engagement - a return to and respect for a Constitutionally limited government, personal responsibility and fiscal restraint at the Federal level.

The Singing Revolution

Between 1987 and 1991, hundreds of thousands of Estonians gathered publicly to sing forbidden patriotic songs and share protest speeches, risking their lives to proclaim their desire for independence. While violence and bloodshed was the unfortunate end result in other occupied nations of the USSR, the revolutionary songs of the Estonians anchored their struggle for freedom, which was ultimately accomplished without the loss of a single life.

FrackNation

Journalist Phelim McAleer faces threats, cops and bogus lawsuits questioning green extremists for the truth about fracking. McAleer uncovers fracking facts suppressed by environmental activists, and he talks with rural Americans whose livelihoods are at risk if fracking is banned. Emotions run high but the truth runs deep.FrackNation was made after Phelim McAleer confronted GASLAND filmmaker Josh Fox at a Q&A in Chicago. McAleer asked Fox about instances of water being lit on fire well before fracking occurred in America and why he didn’t include that information in GASLAND. Fox said the information “wasn’t relevant.” McAleer disagreed and put their exchange on YouTube. Fox sued to have it removed. That’s when McAleer realized there was more to the story of fracking than Josh Fox was letting on.

Crying Wolf

A different way of thinking has emerged in our country and is becoming ever more prominent in our governments and the rest of American culture.  This philosophy, known as environmentalism, is now at the forefront of our decision-makers brains and is constantly shaping their thoughts and policies. You see putting wolves in Yellowstone was never about saving wolves or balancing ecosystems.  There was another agenda.  One they would not reveal to the American public, but would see through, no matter how far they had to bend the rules, no matter how much they had to steal, no matter how bad they had to lie, no matter the cost.  And… they did it.  What’s done is done.  And nobody has ever looked back since……Until now.” This award-winning film is about exposing the lies and proclaiming the truth about what the movement to bring back wolves to Yellowstone – and the rest of America – is really about.

The New Economic Reality: Demographic Winter

One of the most ominous events of modern history is quietly unfolding.  Social scientists and economists agree - we are headed toward a demographic winter, which threatens to have catastrophic social and economic consequences. A groundbreaking film, The New Economic Reality reveals in chilling soberness how societies all around the world are now grimly seen as being in social and economic jeopardy.  Together, the scholars in this film lay out a forthright province of discussion about what to expect from a Demographic Winter.

The Privileged Planet

Many scientists and philosophers have claimed that Earth is an ordinary speck of dust adrift, without purpose or significance, in a vast cosmic sea. Yet current astronomical evidence seems to suggest just the opposite.  We now know that a rare and finely-tuned array of factors makes Earth suitable for complex life. Through stunning computer animation, interviews with leading scientists, and spectacular images of Earth and the cosmos The Privileged Planet explores a startling connection between our capacity to survive and our ability to observe and understand the universe. Is this correlation merely a coincidence? Or does it point to a deeper truth about purpose and intelligent design within the cosmos?Thank you to the Discovery Institute for making it possible to present this film.

Why We Fight / The Power of Nightmares

Is American foreign policy dominated by the idea of military supremacy? Has the military become too important in American life? Jarecki's shrewd and intelligent polemic would seem to give an affirmative answer to each of these questions. Why We Fight grapples with this sense of moral and economic bankruptcy that many feel as we stay the course and fight wars in Iraq, and elsewhere. The film illuminates the "insolvent phantom of tomorrow" that Ike foretold, and it attempts to get underneath the superficial explanations, and ideological perspectives. In Jarecki's words, "We tend to hunt for heroes and villains, rather than study roots of the problem. I wanted to make a film that goes beyond the focus on the individual."

Hacking Democracy

This documentary takes a nonpartisan, clear-eyed look at the secrecy, cronyism, and incompetence of elections in present-day America as it captures a citizen's movement intent on taking back elections--and democracy itself. "It is hard to imagine...a documentary this season that is more important to the civic life of the nation--let alone one that is so compelling and ultimately moving"

UN ME

In a film that exposes the incompetence and corruption at the heart of the United Nations, filmmaker Ami Horowitz takes us on a harrowing, yet often hilarious, trip through the farcical world of the United Nations.Horowitz exposes how an organization created to ennoble mankind actually enables chaos and global discord. As disturbing as the picture painted by U.N. Me may be, Horowitz manages to keep us laughing throughout the film. And just when you’re left shaking your head at one outrage or another exposed in U.N. Me, Horowitz reliably enters with comic relief.

"Nullification" The Rightful Remedy.

“The peace president bombs countries around the world, the drug war rages on, the patriot act exists, the Fed prints and prints and prints. Bailouts, mandates, and regulations – they never seem to end. When Government doesn’t follow the rules given to it, what do you do about it? Well, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison both warned us that if the Federal Government ever became the sole, exclusive arbiter in the extent of it’s own powers – that power would always grow. Jefferson wrote, ‘A Nullification of the act is the rightful remedy whenever the Federal Gov. violates the constitution.’” – Michael Boldin, Executive Director, TAC
