SUMMARY:Refuge
DESCRIPTION:Film in the Community\, a program of RMWF\, shares films monthly at locations around our city – free of charge.

He started hating Muslims when the planes hit the Twin Towers on 9/11\, but is forced to confront his hate when he receives a text from Muslim refugee\, Heval. REFUGE illustrates the false promises of hate and reveals where real and lasting refuge is found. Where there is love\, there is refuge. \nDuration: 75 min. \n\n\nDoors Open at 5:30pm\, Film begins at 6:00pm. Suggested $5 donation. All are welcome. \nRegister to Attend

SUMMARY:Pick of the Litter
DESCRIPTION:Film in the Community\, a program of RMWF\, shares films monthly at locations around our city. Join us on June 16 in partnership with the Colorado Springs Senior Center. \nPick of the Litter follows a litter of puppies from the moment they’re born and begin their quest to become guide dogs for the blind. Cameras follow these pups through an intense two-year odyssey as they train to become dogs whose ultimate responsibility is to protect their blind partners from harm. Along the way\, these remarkable animals rely on a community of dedicated individuals who train them to do amazing\, life-changing things in the service of their human. The stakes are high and not every dog can make the cut. Only the best of the best. The pick of the litter. With deft storytelling skill\, directors Dana Nachman and Don Hardy (the two previously co-directed the feature docs The Human Experiment\, Witch Hunt\, and Love Hate Love) introduce us to a group of unique canine characters along with their human counterparts. Pick of the Litter is a wonderful reminder of the extraordinary relationships we have with our dogs\, especially those that we work beside each day. \nRegister to Attend

SUMMARY:Film in the Community: THE SPACE RACE
DESCRIPTION:SPACE RACE weaves together the stories of Black astronauts seeking to break the bonds of social injustice to reach for the stars\, including Guion Bluford\, Ed Dwight\, and Charles Bolden\, among many others. In THE SPACE RACE\, directors Diego Hurtado de Mendoza and Lisa Cortés profile the pioneering Black pilots\, scientists\, and engineers who joined NASA to serve their country in space\, even as their country failed to achieve equality for them back on Earth. From 1963\, when the assassination of JFK thwarted Captain Ed Dwight’s quest to reach the moon\, to 2020\, when the echoes of the civil unrest sparked by the killing of George Floyd reached the International Space Station\, the story of African Americans at NASA is a tale of world events colliding with the aspirations of uncommon men. The bright dreams of Afrofuturism become reality in THE SPACE RACE\, turning science fiction into science fact and forever redefining what “the right stuff” looks like\, giving us new heroes to celebrate and a fresh history to explore.\nCaptain Ed Dwight\, the first African American astronaut candidate\, will conduct a Q&A after the film.

Red Fever uncovers the surprising truths behind the imagery — so buried in history that even most Native people don`t know about them.

Following in her brother’s footsteps\, Mary’s remarkable racing odyssey begins in the world of cars\, where she outshines her male competitors\, only to later discover her greatest sense of freedom racing motorcycles. Mary pushes herself to greater and greater heights—culminating in her most hair-raising challenge: Attempting to become the first person ever to solo the grueling Baja 500 on a motorcycle. \nSTRONG GRANDMA\nDirected by Cecilia Brown & Winslow Crane-Murdoch\n95-year-old Catherine Kuehn is a world record winning deadlifter.

As North America grapples every year with the threat and devastation of such fires\, which is increasing due to climate change\, those who work the watchtowers with a bird’s-eye view sound the critical alarm that warns of impending danger. Like the occupations of lighthouse keeper or astronaut\, the remote locations and voluntary isolation that are part of the job—along with the very real risk of being struck by lightning—attract a unique kind of individual to this vocation.
