Each year the JCC GSA puts together a series of films designed to educate the viewer regarding LGBT issues. Some of the films are documentary, some drama, some comedies, but they all share the same thread of working to promote tolerance and education. The focus of this year's series is the documentary, and how the spectrum of Gay life is represented through the camera lens. The films will start at 6:00 p.m at the Thunderbird, 129 E. Michigan Ave, Jackson. Beverages will be available for purchase the night of the show. The films are
free and open to the public. For more information, please call Tom Oakley at 517.796.8577
