Film: “CROSSING ARIZONA” (75 minutes, Joseph Mathew and Dan DeVivo, 2006) -
WITH BEATRIZ FLORES GUTIERREZ, documentary film maker, and faculty at The Evergreen State College with some of her own documentary work.
Heightened security in California and Texas has pushed illegal border-crossers into the treacherous Arizona desert in unprecedented numbers – an estimated 4,500 a day. Most are men in search of work, but increasingly the border-crossers are women and children seeking to reunite with their families. 
CROSSING ARIZONA examines the crisis through the eyes of those directly affected by it. Frustrated ranchers go out day after day to repair cut fences and pick up the trash that endangers their livestock and livelihoods. Humanitarian groups place water stations in the desert in an attempt to save lives. Political activists rally against anti-migrant ballot initiatives and try to counter rampant fear mongering. And now there are the Minutemen, an armed citizen patrol group taking border security into their own hands.
Documentary film maker BEATRIZ FLORES GUTIERREZ , will be joining us TO SHARE some of her own documentary work and insight.
We would also like to bring awareness and invite people to attend the Immigration and Border Dialogues Conference at The Evergreen State Collage May 15 through 18.

Film: “KING CORN” (90 min, Aaron Woolf, Ian Cheney, and Curt Ellis, 2008)
KING CORN is a feature documentary about two friends, one acre of corn, and the subsidized crop that drives our fast-food nation.   In KING CORN, Ian Cheney and Curt Ellis, best friends from college on the east coast, move to the heartland to learn where their food comes from. With the help of friendly neighbors, genetically modified seeds, and powerful herbicides, they plant and grow a bumper crop of America's most-productive, most-subsidized grain on one acre of Iowa soil. But when they try to follow their pile of corn into the food system, what they find raises troubling questions about how we eat - and how we farm. Features Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore's Dilemma, and Earl Butz, former US Secretary of Agriculture.

Film: "CASCADIA: HIDDEN FIRE" (60 min, Michael Leinau and Lisa Knorr, 2004)
“Cascadia: Hidden Fire” is the riveting story of scientists and ordinary people caught in extraordinary seismic events and discoveries around the globe. It explains the dynamic geology of our Cascadia Region and how and why earthquakes and other seismic-related events occur. The film provides an education on the current earthquake risk and why it is important for residents here to consider natural hazards such as earthquakes.  And what these seismic detectives are learning about Cascadia will ultimately benefit the two billion people that live in super-quake prone areas along the Pacific Rim known as the Ring of Fire.
