Based on a true story, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind follows 13-year-old William Kamkwamba as he gets expelled from his school in Malawi during a severe drought and famine. Inspired by a library science book, he uses scrap materials to build a makeshift wind turbine to pump water and save his village from starvation.

Unitarian Universalism draws inspiration from world religions, humanism, poets and philosophers, personal experience… and the big screen?  Join us in the Fellowship Hall as we gather to watch a variety of films, from Hollywood blockbusters to forgotten indie gems followed by a discussion of the question: Is this scripture?  We’ll explore whether the film offers meaning, moral guidance, prophetic truth, or espouses one of our guiding principles and find in what ways we personally connect (or don’t connect) with the people, places, and plots we’ve seen.

This group is open to anyone who wants to drop in. Bring a friend!
Bring your snacks, your curious mind, and your unique perspective on modern media as scripture.
