cinema, with an eye towards films that are challenging, entertaining,
well-made, and unique. The Art Theater Co-op partners with community
organizations to host panels after each film, panels which will
establish connections between the on-screen material and work being done
in our community.<br><br></span></span></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><span><span class="">Ticket prices: $9/normal, $7/student, $/6 senior. $30 pass to all films available.<br>

AFTER TILLER (Presented by Women's Resources Center and NARAL Choice Action Team) - After the assassination of Dr. George Tiller in Kansas
in 2009, there are a limited number of doctors left in the country who
provide third-trimester abortions for women. AFTER TILLER moves between
the rapidly unfolding stories of these doctors, all of whom were close
colleagues of Dr. Tiller, and are fighting to keep this service
available in the wake of his death. <br> <br> INEQUALITY FOR ALL - A
documentary that follows former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich as he
looks to raise awareness of the country's widening economic gap. <br> <br>
THE FRUIT HUNTERS (Presented by Common Ground Food Co-operative ) - THE
FRUIT HUNTERS travels across culture, history and geography to show how
intertwined we are with the fruits we eat. Our guides are devoted fruit
fanatics. Movie star Bill Pullman’s obsession leads him on a crusade to
create a community orchard in the Hollywood Hills. Adventurers Noris
Ledesma and Richard Campbell scour the jungle for rare mangos, hoping to
intervene before the plants are steamrolled by industrialization.
Pioneering scientist Juan Aguilar races to breed bananas resistant to a
deadly fungus that threatens the worldwide crop. And fruit detectives
including Isabella Dalla Ragione investigate Renaissance-era paintings
for clues, hoping to rediscover lost fruits. <br> <br> FIRE IN THE BLOOD
(Presented by Champaign County Health Care Consumers) - An intricate
tale of "medicine, monopoly and malice", FIRE IN THE BLOOD tells the
story of how Western pharmaceutical companies and governments blocked
access to low-cost AIDS drugs for the countries of the global south in
the years after 1996 - causing ten million or more unnecessary deaths -
and the improbable group of people who decided to fight back.<br> <br>
CALL ME KUCHU (Presented by The UP Center of Champaign County) - In
Uganda, a new bill threatens to make homosexuality punishable by death.
David Kato - Uganda's first openly gay man - and his fellow activists
work against the clock to defeat the legislation while combating vicious
persecution in their daily lives. But no one, not even the filmmakers,
is prepared for the brutal murder that shakes the movement to its core
and sends shock waves around the world.<br> <br> FREE THE MIND - In 1992
Professor Richard Davidson, one of the world's leading neuroscientists,
met the Dalai Lama, who encouraged him to apply the same rigorous
methods he used to study depression and anxiety to the study of
compassion and kindness, those qualities cultivated by Tibetan
meditation practice. The results of Davidson's studies at the Center for
Investigating Healthy Minds at the University of Wisconsin, Madison,
are portrayed in Free the Mind as they are applied to treating PTSD in
returning Iraqi vets and children with ADHD.</span></span></span><br></div></div>
