Community Cinema Vashon presents "Welcome to Shelbyville"

Sunday, 5/22 from 3-5p at the Ober Park Performance Room, free of charge



The second in a program of Community Cinema Vashon's free monthly screenings and moderated discussions of documentaries from the Emmy Award winning PBS film series Independent Lens is brought to you courtesy of We All Belong, a project of Welcome Vashon.



Set in the heart of America's Bible Belt,
"Welcome To Shelbyville" focuses on a small Southern town as they grapple with rapid demographic change and issues of immigrant integration.



The film captures the complexity of the African American, Latino, white, and Somali subjects as their lives intertwine against the backdrop of a crumbling economy and the election of a new president. In a year of historic change, one town in the Heartland questions what it means to be American.

Future dates of the free summer film and discussion series are July 24, August 14, and September 11 at the Ober Park Performance Room, 3pm-5pm.
