The First Tuesday Social Justice Film Festival CoSponsored by the Dallas Peace Center At 7:00pm on the First Tuesday of each month the UUCOC hosts free screenings of socially relevant films followed by a (usually intense) discussion of actions we can take. December 2nd, 2014:
First Tuesday Social Justice Film Festival is showing What Would Jesus Buy? Morgan Spurlock's feature about Reverend Billy. If you have never seen the good Reverend, he is interesting. He preaches against consumerism with great comedy and gospel singers. Oh, and part of it was shot in Dallas. This is a fitting way to start the holiday season.
