Friday, November 20th 2009 7:30 - 10:00pm
University of Washington, Kane Hall Room 110
Tickets $10 General $5 Student

There are approximately 2 million undocumented children who were born outside the U.S. and raised here. They were educated in American schools, know only the U.S. as home — but simply by turning 18, they become "illegal" immigrants. It is then against the law to work or drive. It is difficult to attend college. Currently, there is no path to citizenship for them. Some of the students caught up in this trap will be joining us for a discussion after the film, moderated by OneAmerica’s Executive Director Pramila Jayapal. (We’re an immigrant rights advocacy organization based in Seattle by the way.)

Collision: Is Christianity Good for the World?

Making its theatrical premiere, the new documentary COLLISION pits leading atheist, political journalist and author Christopher Hitchens ("God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything") against fellow author and evangelical theologian Pastor Douglas Wilson on a debate tour arguing the topic “Is Religion Good For The World?” Lives and worldviews collide as Hitchens and Wilson wittily and passionately argue the timeless question, proving to be perfectly matched intellectual, philosophical, and cinematic rivals. COLLISION is directed by prolific independent filmmaker Darren Doane (Van Morrison: To Be Born Again, The Battle For L.A., Godmoney).

WHEN: SUNDAY, NOV 22 at 6pm

WHERE: Calvary Chapel Auditorium
9428 4th St SE Lake Stevens, WA 98258

Some really great movies at the Italian Film Fest at SIFF, but I recommend Precious - it's the feel good family flick of the year.

(no, actually, it's not, but it is a great movie)

Geez, guys. After all that bluster about shit yesterday, you'd think you could at least get to a crime scene in your back yard.

that's a disapointment. I was under the impression that these rebels wanted to smash the traditional patriarchal dead white dooshbag way of doing things. M-F 9-5 punch-in punch-out. tgif malarky. eh, maybe plasicized sissies need a structured environment - laptop microsirfs - xtra xtra
