Shemanski FilmTalks
FilmTalks is a day-long exploration of a key human relations issue for high school students from a variety of public and private schools. Using a feature film—such as Hotel Rwanda, for example—as a point of departure, students are divided into diverse groups to discuss issues of bigotry and personal responsibility raised by the chosen film and then to apply the fruits of their discussions to their school and personal lives. The program is named in honor of Alfred and Tillie Shemanski, whose trust supports this and other important interfaith, community-building programs.
