Description

All are welcome to the Piedmont Film Club for food, a film and friends! 5 pm food available, 6 pm movie starts. Community discussion after. Join us on December 16 for the 2021 documentary, Rebel Hearts, In 1960s Los Angeles a trailblazing group of nuns, The Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, bravely stood up to the patriarchy of the Catholic Church, fighting for equality, their livelihoods, and their own freedom against an all-powerful Cardinal who sought to keep them in their place. Their bold acts of faith, defiance and activism turned the Church upside down, helping to reshape our society in ways that continue to resonate today. From marching in Selma in 1965 to the Women’s March in 2018, they challenged the notion of what a nun and a woman were supposed to be. Born from the success of the annual Doc5 Middleburg Film Festival (third one to be held May 17-21), the Piedmont Film Club will meet once a month, generally on the third Thursday of each month, to show a movie selected to have an impact.
