I vote yes to spending $50 from our aluminum can recycling fund (which I call our pocket change fund).

As a co-hosting organization, it is suggested that we make a donation. With your approval, I'd like to donate $50 from our aluminum can recycling fund. Please let me know if that's OK by replying to this email.

Access it at: https://event.webinarjam.com/register/204/n7yn7fr3.to view on your own schedule, then join GSC members on Zoom on Monday, November 22, 2021, for our own interactive discussion of the documentary.
> Although it is not required, you are encouraged to make a donation when you sign up to view the film. (GSC will be making an organizational donation - I HOPE! - for the privilege of co-hosting and sharing the film with our congregation, but chipping in a dollar or two would be greatly appreciated.. All donations will be split 50/50 between "No More Sacrificed Communities" Film Impact Campaign and Create Climate Justice - Indigenous Solidarity Fund, which is managed by UUMFE.}
> FILM SYNOPSIS: Indigenous environmental leaders embark on an extraordinary trans-continental adventure from the Boreal forest to deep into the heart of the Amazonian jungle to unite the peoples of North and South America and deepen the meaning of “Climate Justice”. The Condor & The Eagle documentary offers a glimpse into a developing spiritual renaissance as the film four protagonists learn from each other’s long legacy of resistance to colonialism and its extractive economy. Their path through the jungle takes them on an unexpectedly challenging and liberating journey, which will forever change their attachment to the Earth and one another.

> The Condor & The Eagle premiered in October 2019 at the Woodstock Film Festival, was selected by 28 world-renowned film festivals and has won 8 awards including Best Environmental Documentary at the 2019 Red Nation Film Festival.
> 
> A pre-recorded panel discussion with the filmmaker Clement Guerra and protagonists from the film will begin playing after the film credits. Spanish and English Closed Captioning subtitles are available. (Just a note to warn you: the panel discussion is quite interesting, but it's pretty long - maybe an hour. Tacking it on after viewing the film is a big time commitment. We viewed both last night and found it was really too much at one time for us, even though it was really good.)
