NOVEMBER FILM
“The Social Dilemma”
This month, we invite you to an engaging community screening of The Social Dilemma, the widely discussed documentary exploring how social media platforms shape our attention, behavior, and democracy. The film exposes the powerful incentives behind data extraction and user manipulation — and raises important questions about the true cost of our digital lives.

To enrich the conversation, we’ll also reflect on a critical perspective known as The Social Dilemma. This view challenges us to look beyond the technology itself and examine the deeper social and economic forces behind it: Who builds these platforms? Who profits? And how do broader systems from labour practices to public investment shape the technologies we use every day?

Together, these perspectives open a wider, more nuanced dialogue about digital power, inequality, and the possibilities for democratic, community-centred alternatives.

Join us for the screening and stay afterward for an open discussion. Bring your questions, your insights, and your curiosity let’s unpack these dilemmas as a community.

“A handful of engineers in Silicon Valley aren’t just programming code. They are programming human civilization. The only question that remains is, what are we going to do about it?”

– Jeff Orlowski, Director

We invite you to join us this Friday, November 28, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. as we come together through film.

OCTOBER FILM Later is Too Late”
An Urgent, Unflinching Call to Climate Action
Don’t let the title be a prophecy. Nancy Nicol’s powerful documentary, “Later is Too Late,” is not just a film; it’s a rallying cry. This is essential viewing for anyone who breathes air and cares about the future of our planet.

Moving beyond the grim statistics and abstract warnings, Nicol masterfully grounds the global climate crisis in the powerful, personal stories of those on the front lines. The film introduces us to a diverse group of individuals—from youth activists to Indigenous leaders to everyday citizens—who are no longer waiting for permission to act. Their collective frustration and unwavering determination are both heartbreaking and profoundly inspiring.

“Later is Too Late” is unflinching in its portrayal of the challenges we face, but it is far from a film of despair. Instead, it is a testament to the power of grassroots organizing and collective courage. It argues convincingly that the solutions exist and the people are ready; what is lacking is the political will.

This film will leave you not with a sense of hopelessness, but with a clear-eyed understanding of the stakes and a burning desire to get involved. It’s a compelling, beautifully shot, and emotionally resonant piece that makes one thing perfectly clear: the time for passive concern is over. The time for action is now.

We invite you to join us this Friday, October 24, 2025 at 6:00 p.m. as we come together through film.
