June 12th � Through The Eyes Of AfroMexico/American Indian Heritage and Free Slave Movements Films: De Florida a Coahuila (From Florida to Coahuila) (2002), produced by Rafael Rebollar Corona , examines the history, culture and spiritual traditions of a small population, called El Nacimiento de los Negros, descendants of the ones called black Seminoles in the United States, near the city of Muzquiz, Coahuila. The black Seminoles were of African origin and assimilated with many North American indigenous groups from the Florida region. Together they formed the Seminole confederation. In 1850, running away from the territorial politics of slavery and racial discrimination in the United States , the mascogos (black Seminoles) sought asylum in Mexico , where after serving as border troops in the north of the country, they were given lands and the Mexican nationality. For more, visit http://www.lasamericasfilms.org/films/deflorida.htm. La Ra�z Olvidada (The Forgotten Root) (2001), produced by Rafael Rebollar Corona , examines the harbor of Veracruz, and the harbors of P�nuco and Campeche, the main channels through which African slaves were introduced to Mexico. On the shores of the Gulf of Mexico , African descendents developed settlements in this region. In an effort to replace indigenous labor, the Spanish took most of the black population to Costa Chica, one of the regions least known by Mexicans. Those escaping slavery found a fitting place on the coast to keep their freedom. This led to cultural mingling between Western Hemisphere Indians, Africans and Europeans, producing an entire coastal culture on the Pacific Shore . For more, visit http://www.lasamericasfilms.org/films/laraiz.htm. July 17th � Through The Eyes Of African Unity & Bob Marley Guests: Filmmaker Stephanie Black Film: Africa Unite (2007), produced by Stephanie Black (BRAVO, Sesame Street, Nickelodeon, the Cartoon Network), is a masterfully executed film by a veteran director that is a concert tribute, Marley family travelogue, and a humanitarian documentary that ignites the screen with the spirit of world-renowned reggae icon Bob Marley in its every frame. In commemoration of Bob's 60th birthday, Africa Unite is centered on the Marley's first-time-ever family trip to Ethiopia in 2005, where three generations of Marleys take part in a landmark one week event attended by over 350,000. Danny Glover and Lauryn Hill are also featured. For more, visit http://www.africaunitefilm.com. August 14th � Through The Eyes Of Cuban Legends Guests: Filmmaker Lorenzo Destefano Film: Los Zafiros (The Sapphires): Music From The Edge of Time (2007), produced by Lorenzo Destefano, with executive producers Randa Haines and Sandra Levinson, explores the memories of Manuel Galban and Miguel Cancio, the two surviving members of Los Zafiros, as they are reunited in Havana, Cuba. Los Zafiros are a musical phenomenon molded by their time and place that caused a sensation in Havana and beyond throughout the 1960's and into the early '70's. Though they enjoyed international acclaim, touring widely throughout Europe, Los Zafiros have remained in relative obscurity throughout the U.S. as a result of the political climate of the cold war. The sensuality of their musical and personal style brought them a rabid female following and heavy air play on national radio, making them very much the Beatles. Four decades after their formation, Los Zafiros popularity, sparked by the successful 1998 release of the Spanish-language feature film "Zafiros � Locura Azul," and of the "Bossa Cubana" CD from World Circuit Records ("Buena Vista Social Club"). On a popular battle-of-the-bands style radio program hosted by Adrian Mesa of 92.3 Classica-FM in Miami in December 2001, Los Zafiros receive a majority of the call-in votes compared to their competition. For more, visit http://www.loszafirosfilm.com. September 4th � Through The Eyes Of Urban and Demographic Change Guests: Filmmakers Virginie-Alvine Perrette and Lyn Goldfarb Film: Twilight Becomes Night (2008), produced by Virginie-Alvine Perrette, explores the pivotal role of neighborhood stores in our lives and our communities. Using the streets and shops of New York City as a backdrop, the film moves beyond nostalgic regret to reveal a high-stakes transformation and its potential affect on us all and illustrates how this is a reality we may be facing each time a neighborhood shop closes its door for good due to changing economics in the new era of large and impersonal retail chains. For more, visit http://www.twilightbecomesnight.com. The New Los Angeles (2007), produced by Lyn Goldfarb and narrated by Oscar-Winner Linda Hunt, explores the complexities of inclusion in Los Angeles, the nation's largest "majority-minority" city and the city with the nation's largest divide between rich and poor. The film provides a portrait of a transition beginning in 1973 with the election of Mayor Tom Bradley, the first African-American mayor of a major city without a black majority, and concludes with the political empowerment of Latinos and the election of Antonio Villaraigosa, Los Angeles 's first Latino mayor in more than 130 years. The film takes on such issues as immigration, globalization, de-industrialization, economic inequality, and a shrinking middle class. For more, visit http://www.californiadreamseries.org/nla.htm.

For two years before she left Iran in 1997, Nafisi gathered seven young women at her house every Thursday morning to read and discuss forbidden works of Western literature. They were shy and uncomfortable at first, unaccustomed to being asked to speak their minds, but soon they began to open up and to speak more freely, not only about the novels they were reading but also about themselves, their dreams, and disappointments. Their stories intertwined with those they were reading, especially Lolita� their Lolita, as they imagined her in Tehran. Join us as we discuss this thought provoking book.
