This month the Queen Anne Movie Guild will be screening Turning Points, which follows eight homeless and formerly homeless Real Change vendors and deals with the transitions they’ve faced in their lives, as part of their Unnatural Causes series.
Our lives are constantly shaped by transitions – some positive, others negative, some life affirming, others crushing. All of us have stories to tell. In Turning Points we hear from eight homeless and formerly homeless Real Change vendors about the transitions in their lives. Whether its the strength of a relationship, the experience of war, or the salvation in finding community, each story illuminates the intense human ability to persevere against all odds. Timothy Harris, Executive Director of Real Change, will be there in person to lead a post-film discussion.
The free screening of Turning Points is this Saturday, January 9 at 7 p.m. at the Queen Anne United Methodist Church, located at 1616 Fifth Ave W, next to the Queen Anne branch library.
Get details on the screening here. The QAMG is a volunteer-run organization that brings socially relevant, independent documentary films to the Queen Anne community every second Saturday of the month.
Update: QAMG will also be showing “Not Just A Paycheck: Unemployment Takes A Toll In Michigan But Not In Sweden” alongside “Turning Points.” Both documentaries are 30 minutes long. After the screening there will be a round table discussion with Real Change founder and director Tim Harris.
