5. THE STORY OF FATHER PFLEGER

Father Michael Pfleger of Chicago's Saint Sabina Church has stirred up much controversy over the years by using the power of his pulpit to battle inequalities in his South Side parish. This has made him an outspoken hero to some and a renegade to others in the Catholic Church hierarchy.

Evanston filmmaker Bob Hercules' comprehensive new documentary RADICAL DISCIPLE (2009, 58 min.) captures Pfleger's deep-felt activism, passion and charisma, while exploring issues of racism, theology, and the role of the media.

With filmmaker Bob Hercules and Father Michael Pfleger in person!

It is lonely at the fringes, especially if you are a troubled teenage girl in Iran. In a rare and revealing look at the underbelly of Iranian society, Iranian-American director Hamid Rahmanian and producer Melissa Hibbard’s THE GLASS HOUSE (USA/Iran, 2008, 92 min.) follows four girls who attend a unique rehabilitation center in Tehran.

As they

grapple with familial neglect, drug and sexual abuse, they are treated as outcasts by a society that places many cultural and legal restrictions on women's roles.  Guided by a group of courageous social workers and therapists, these brave and defiant girls struggle to find their voice in creative writing and even rap music.
