CLEARLAKE, Calif. – Second Sunday Cinema will feature free showings of 'Money as Debt II' and 'DIVE!' on Sunday, Nov. 13.

The films will be shown at Clearlake United Methodist Church, 14521 Pearl Ave.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m., with the films starting at 6 p.m.

Another film on monetary policy you ask? Yes, indeed, although “MaD II” is less than half the program, and is the new, improved second edition.

Folks loved the first edition because they recognized how rarely we get to learn about the very foundation of our economic system, the system that’s got us where we are now.

The film also is popular because it’s so mind-boggling that most of our money exists only as loans, and thanks to interest, requires exponential growth.

Thirdly, this film will help prepare us for the educational crash course by Chris Martenson, three DVDs over three Sunday evenings in January, telling us what’s coming globally in the next 20 years.

SSC is happy to be part of this vitally important series on the second, third and fourth Sundays in January.

The intermission will be informed by a 10- to 15-minute talk/discussion on hunger in Lake County – a local crisis and something we can help with here at home. Our speaker will be Lou Denny, who is working with the Hunger Task Force to get food to hungry families every day.

The second film on Nov. 13 will be “DIVE!: Living Off America’s Waste,” another 45-minute document featuring wholesome young people feeding their healthy families by dumpster diving for delicious, still fine meats, eggs, fruits and veggies behind Trader Joe's and Whole Foods.

We learn that the US wastes 96 billion pounds of food every year – or a full half of what we produce. How can that be?

This inspiring, upbeat doc is part of a movement to get supermarkets to give away their near-due-date goodies to local food banks that desperately need them.

Finally, we will hear from two dedicated local folks who spent weeks at Occupy DC. We’ll get inside information on the DC Occupation’s really positive, effective moments, what they’re still learning, and why the movement is so important for us all.
