FILM NIGHTS
Ok, we'd heard the Actors, Directors & Filmmakers loud and clear. We currently host Poetry, Visual Art, Authors, Gamers, etc. so it's only natural that we provide a platform for Indie Filmmakers and local Actors.

Extremely controversial documentary split into three parts, first producing information discrediting religion. Part 2 describes the problems with what was told to us about the events surrounding Sept. 11 and and provides evidence to show who the writers believe really was responsible for the attacks. The third part deals with banks and resulting theories of World leaders plans to create one world bank.
Join us for the screening and a discussion after.
No cover but donations will be accepted and there is a 1 drink min. Thanks.
