Film & Discussion Event -- "Abuse of Power", a film on torture & accountability

This event will feature a screening of the ACLU "Freedom Files" film on torture (“Abuse of Power”), an episode of the successful ACLU documentary series now in its second season.

After the screening, Chip Pitts, ACLU Dallas Chapter board member and president of the independent Bill of Rights Defense Committee, will lead discussion about the important issues raised by the film.

The Freedom Files television series draws on the power of true stories to highlight vital civil liberties issues of our time and inspire viewers to take action. These half-hour documentaries feature the firsthand accounts of real people who have taken on the powers that be, often at great risk to themselves, in order to preserve their precious constitutional rights. Freedom Files is distributed nationwide to public television stations through the National Educational Telecommunications Association. For air dates and times, visit http://aclu.tv/...

Please plan to pick up something to eat at the cafeteria and bring it into the meeting room, as we can avoid payment of the room fee if at least half of our attendees order something to eat. (Alternatively, pick up some cookies, muffins, or a cake to go!)

Hope to see you there!
