Scheduled 6:30 p.m. (doors open at 6) Saturday, Oct. 13, at the Fresno Center for Nonviolence: The film “Who are These Russians and Why Do We Hate Them?” Run time: 46.10.

Is Russia the evil empire, the red menace, a threat to our Democracy, freedom and security? Is Putin a dictator, a thug or a patriotic nationalist? Could the fear and demonization of Russia and Putin come from Bush I, the CIA, Reagan and Joe McCarthy? Tensions between us have never been worse and all life on earth is hanging in the balance. The film is meant to provoke reflection and discussion among those who can see beyond the daily media manipulation of reality that is called news.

A discussion will following the screening with the filmmaker, Regis Tremblay. This event is co-sponsored by Fresno Center for Nonviolence and Peace Fresno. Free to the public; donations welcomed. Wheelchair accessible. For more information call the Center Mon-Fri 11-3 559-237-3223. Or send an email to Angela Price at angela.price41@comcast.net.
