Metta’s Nonviolence Film Club
Make an end-of-year donation to the Metta Center for Nonviolence and sign up for our online end-of-year film club.
We have selected seven films to screen online in community, so you can cozy up with friends and family, learn something new about nonviolence, and get inspired for action. Most films you will be able to watch over several days, only the screening on Oct. 23 is time-bound at an exact time. Some meet-ups will be scheduled for discussion, otherwise, you are invited to just enjoy the films and learn something new! This is a great way to “start” your study of nonviolence as well as to deepen your practice. This is an online program.
To join the club as a fundraising event, we invite you to make your end-of-year donation and then sign up here. No one turned away, of course. All you do is sign up and we’ll send you the information for each screening.
