Film Discussion – Seattle is Dying
06/27/2023 @ 8:00 pm - 9:30 pm EDT
Watch a movie on your own, then attend a discussion of it made richer by the wide variety of viewpoints that participants hold.
We choose films that address social, political or cultural issues that are relevant to society today. They may highlight liberal-leaning, conservative-leaning or independent themes, or feature actors or directors from opposite sides of the political spectrum.
We’ll be discussing the film Seattle is Dying (2019).
Seattle is Dying (2019), is a 60-minute news documentary produced by KOMO-TV. It maintains that Seattle’s homelessness and crime issues are spurred by drug addiction, and advocates for intervention, including jail time during which drug treatment is administered. It holds up as a model Rhode Island’s prison- and community-based Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT).
Watch Seattle is Dying for free here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpAi70WWBlw&t=6s. Registration coming soon.
Be sure to watch the film before we meet on Zoom to discuss it!
