Freedom Series: 'A .45 to 50th' & 'Getwell'

July 17, 2010

Celebrate Mandela Day with the launch weekend of the Freedom Series (July 15-18), a series of community-hosted films and conversations on topics of freedom. Admission to each program is FREE, with a $5 minimum donation suggested to benefit the hosting organization. On Saturday: 'A .45 to 50th' & 'Getwell' hosted by Abundant Grace Fellowship at Abundant Grace. 'A .45 to 50th' is a short documentary which deftly fuses interview, stock footage and historical reenactment to tell of events that would change actor James Cromwell's world view for the rest of his life. Under threat of assassination by the CIA, Elbert "Big Man" Howard traveled to New York in hopes of mending a rift forming between factions of the Black Panther Party. Rallying churches, hospitals, doctors, nurses, corporations, donors and volunteers, Dr. Morris works to continue uniting the city around the Biblical mandate to care for the poor who are sick. With a broad-based focus on primary care, prevention, body and spirit and political activism, the Church Health Center has become the model for the rest of the nation, affecting real change for the increasing numbers of uninsured Americans across the country. 'Getwell' reiterates the power, and necessity, of faith and community.
