Geneva church to show ‘9500 Liberty’ documentary

Daily Herald report

The highly-acclaimed and recently-released documentary “9500 Liberty” will be shown at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 18, at the Unitarian Universalist Society of Geneva, 110 S. Second St. in downtown Geneva.

This film shows how anti-immigration forces frightened lawmakers in Virginia into enacting a law requiring police to interrogate anyone suspected of being undocumented and how a community fought back using YouTube videos and virtual townhalls. Are we a nation of immigrants? The immigration debates are causing us to redefine our identity.

The film is part of the free monthly third-Friday Film programs which are sponsored by the Social Justice Committee of the Unitarian Universalist Society of Geneva. The public is encouraged to register at content.uusg.org/friday-flicks/ to receive e-mail notices of future programs.

The Unitarian Universalist Society of Geneva, established in 1842 and the oldest church in Geneva, is a diverse, welcoming community that endeavors to make its covenant a living reality. It provides religious education and opportunities for spiritual growth. It encourages individual and mutual responsibility as together we work to be a liberal religious voice in the community and a force for compassionate social justice.
