They're Trying to Kill Us
Movie Night, Wednesday, September 18th at 6:30pm
Bear Library

This is a powerful 90-minute documentary folks! Life is Delicious (non-profit that organizes Delaware VegFest) is hosting a movie night on Wednesday, September 18th at the Bear Library. "They're Trying to Kill Us" stars John Lewis as he crosses the country seeking answers to why Americans of Color suffer from disproportionately higher rates of chronic disease than their European American counterparts, while examining the intersections of food, disease, race, poverty, institutional racism and government corruption. We will have plant based snacks and a discussion after the film to talk about next steps. Sign up here: https://firstu.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/2419658
