Agency: HandsOn Greater Phoenix

Description: HandsOn presents 2nd Cinema Saturday as an opportunity for social issues education. Through the medium of film and a post-show conversation, we hope to inspire individuals to take action on issues they care about.

Join us in May for A Village Called Versailles.

Welcome to Versailles, New Orleans—home to the densest ethnic Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam. For over 30 years, its residents lived a quiet existence on the edge of New Orleans. But then came Hurricane Katrina, the immense garbage piles and the shocking discovery of a toxic landfill planned in their neighborhood. Watch as they fight back, turning a devastating disaster into a catalyst for change and a chance to build a better future.

A VILLAGE CALLED VERSAILLES WILL AIR NATIONALLY ON THE EMMY AWARD-WINNING PBS SERIES INDEPENDENT LENS.

Stick around after the film for a lively discussion with local experts.
