•OnlineSpecial Virtual Documentary Night: Big Max
OnlineYOU MUST WATCH THE FILM ON YOUR OWN BEFORE THE EVENT
Link to the film is in the info below.
For this Special Virtual Documentary Night, in honor of Veganuary, we are meeting to talk about the documentary, Big Max. A morbidly obese individual, Max, decides to change his lifestyle for a month and try going vegan. Health is irrelevant, weight is not the issue. Max decides to change to spite his vegan friend and prove he can change for 30 days without failing. Director Justin Russell will be joining us for a special guest Q&A!

Meeting ID: 875 5525 6659
Passcode: 861888
This event is posted in multiple meetup groups, and on Eventbrite, as well as with members of the Community Documentary Night email list. (Message me if interested in joining the email list) Therefore, THIS RSVP LIST IS NOT REPRESENTATIVE OF HOW MANY PEOPLE WILL BE ATTENDING THE EVENT. So even if you only see one person RSVPed in this meetup group, there will always be others in attendance from other groups. We tend to have at least 20 on average. By inviting numerous groups that increases the likelihood that those in attendance will be from varying backgrounds and beliefs. This is done purposefully to provide everyone with the opportunity to hear a wide range of perspectives.
This event is open to all who are open to all. The one thing we ask is that people allow others to get their full thought out and that any disagreement is voiced in a civil way. Check out the Community Documentary Night website for more info or links to previously shown documentaries.
Thank you and hope to see you there!

For this Special Virtual Documentary Night, in honor of Veganuary, we are meeting to talk about the documentary, Sled Dogs. This eye opening documentary offers an inside look at the dog sledding industry, from the tourist attractions to the annual Iditarod race. By weaving together various narratives we explore the truth about this industry while posing the question: "Is this the way 'man's best friend' should be treated?"

Link to the film is in the info below.
For this Special Virtual Documentary Night, in honor of Earth Month, we are meeting to talk about the documentary, Common Enemy. Oklahoma has a growing factory farming problem. The state leads the nation in foreign-owned agricultural land, and the death of the small family farm is a theme that lingers throughout the heartland. Corporate animal agriculture is taking over the state, destroying the land, and making life for animals hell on earth. The citizens, the environment, and the animals in Oklahoma have a common enemy—factory farming. Director Adam Peditto will be joining us for a special guest Q&A!
