Summer Documentary Series

Sunday, August 17, 4:00 p.m. in the Activity Building

On Sunday, August 17 we will gather at 4:00 p.m. for our final documentary in our summer series. Our focus this month will be on Evicting the American Dream. This documentary amplifies the voices of children and families facing eviction. Through interviews with pediatric psychologists, social workers, tenant rights organizations, housing authority officials, eviction lawyers, and more, this film explores the root causes and systemic issues that perpetuate the epidemic. This film seeks to reframe, humanize, and transform how the wider public understands eviction and homelessness in ways in which this is preventable.

Our panelists for this discussion will include Alexandria Hicks, Executive Director, Next Step Ministries; and Stephen Sills, Affiliate Researcher, UNCG Center for Housing and Community Studies. We hope you will join the Community Service Committee for this engaging discussion in which we all have our eyes opened to the needs of neighbors in our own community. Feel free to invite colleagues, neighbors, and friends! To watch a clip from this film: https://pcusa.org/evicting-american-dream
