What the Academy Award Nominees for Best Picture Tell Us About Ourselves - Drew Trotter, Host
The Academy Award nominees for Best Picture may not always be the biggest box office triumphs of the year, but they are among the most influential movies for the nation's cultural gatekeepers. The nominees reflect what Hollywood thinks of itself and of American culture. Drew Trotter is the Executive Director of the Consortium of Christian Study Centers. He has written on film and popular culture for more than 30 years. This lecture explores just what those values are by looking at each of the films, their ideas, and their likely influence on, and reflection of, America in the present day.

This year our Easter offering will again be devoted to Feed My Starving Children. Last year over 1400 of us packed 326,376 meals for starving children in Haiti. This year we will be packing meals on the weekend of September 23rd-25th and hope to feed even more children than last year. Just $440 will feed an entire family for a year! What better way to celebrate the hope of Easter than to feed the most vulnerable children in our world.
