The communitywide, nondenominational Social Justice Film Series continues its eighth year on Sunday, October 13, at 7 p.m. with “Park Avenue: Money, Power and the American Dream.” The series is free and open to the public at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Vero Beach; no tickets or reservations are required. A comment and discussion period will follow the screening.
In “Park Avenue,” Academy Award-winning filmmaker Alex Gibney presents his take on the gap between rich and poor. Gibney contends that, while income disparity has always existed in the U.S., it has accelerated sharply over the last 40 years. As of 2010, the 400 richest Americans controlled more wealth than the bottom 50 percent of the populace – 150 million people. Interviewees include Jack Abramoff, Michele Bachmann, John Boehner, Carol Browner, Eric Cantor and David H. Koch.
The UU Fellowship, offering a liberal religion on the Treasure Coast, has easy parking and is handicapped accessible. It is located at 1590 27th Avenue on the southeast corner of 27th Avenue and 16th Street. For more information, call 772-778-5880.
