Description
NBOIG (http://www.meetup.com/National-Barack-Obama-Inauguration-Meetup/) and DC for Obama (www.dcforobama.com) are showing 'Closer to the Dream', a documentary on the candidacy and election of Barack Obama. Filmmakers Felin-Cohen have put together a film that really captures the feeling of campaign the voluntarism, excitement and hope. From early primaries to the election, we get to experience the campaign through the filmmakers lens and how the candidacy and election of Barack Obama brings us closer to Martin Luther King's vision put forth in his 'I have a dream' speech where one is judged upon his character, not ones ethnicity. We are very fortunate to have filmmakers Felin-Cohen at this screening where we will get to hear about their inspiration, thoughts and plans for this project. They have worked hard and put together a film that you are gonna love. You can learn more about this film at http://obama-closertothedream.ning.com. After the film, join in the festivities at the celebrated Station9dc.com and meet our special guests and the great folks of DC for Obama. We will be celebrating the successful completion of the MLK Day of Service, and the screening of a great film. Thank-you, ET
