SUMMARY:Indie Lens Pop-Up: "The Inquisitor" Film Screening & Interactive Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join the Newton Free Library and GBH for an Indie Lens Pop-Up! 
 This event will feature a screening of the Independent Lens documentary The 
 Inquisitor\, followed by an interactive discussion led by facilitators from 
 Families Organizing for Racial Justice (FORJ).\n\n \n\nExplore the life and 
 legacy of Barbara Jordan in The Inquisitor. Jordan was a groundbreaking 
 Texas congresswoman whose sharp intellect and moral clarity transformed 
 U.S. politics. From Nixon’s impeachment to civil rights battles\, her 
 voice demanded accountability\, while she privately faced struggles few 
 ever knew of.\n\n\n\n \n\nFollowing the screening\, facilitators from FORJ 
 will lead interactive small-group discussions where everyone will have a 
 chance to reflect on the film\, with a focus on one of the documentary's 
 key themes: finding your voice.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nAbout the Film:\n\nThe 
 Inquisitor\n\nBy Angela Tucker (director/producer)\, Trevite Willis 
 (producer)\, and Moira Griffin (producer)\n\n\n\nWatch the trailer 
 here.\n\nLearn more about the film and filmmakers here.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n 
 \n\nAbout FORJ:\n\nFamilies Organizing for Racial Justice\, FORJ\, is a 
 coalition of families and individuals who believe change starts at home and 
 in our own communities. Our name derives from the verb "forge\," meaning to 
 create or form\, perfectly mirroring what we do: creating and forming a 
 movement committed to realizing lasting change in our city. We offer 
 antiracist programs in the schools and the community that bring people 
 together\, raise awareness\, educate\, and provide skill-building trainings 
 for youth and adults. We share resources\, source programming\, and 
 collaborate with like-minded organizations to offer dynamic 
 partnerships.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nAbout Indie Lens Pop-Up:\n\nFor more than 
 20 years\, the award-winning Indie Lens Pop-Up program has partnered with 
 local organizations across the country to bring people together for film 
 screenings and community-driven conversations. Inspired by the 
 documentaries featured on PBS’s Independent Lens\, Indie Lens Pop-Up is a 
 space for sharing ideas and making connections that shape our understanding 
 of ourselves and the world around us. Since its inception in 2005\, nearly 
 half a million participants have come together at Indie Lens Pop-Up events 
 to discuss issues that impact local communities. Learn more at 
 pbs.org/indielenspopup.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nThe film runs approximately 
 60 minutes\, followed by a 45-minute discussion.\n\nThis program was 
 originally planned for late February but had to be rescheduled due to the 
 blizzard. We recognize that the screening is now taking place at sundown 
 during Ramadan. If you have been fasting during the day\, you are welcome 
 to have something to eat or drink in the auditorium when it is time to 
 break the fast. There is also space to eat in the Community Room right next 
 to the auditorium.
