Wednesday, June 11 and Thursday, June 12 at 8:00 pm Regency Ballroom SiCKO, Directed by Michael Moore; Rated PG-13; 113 minutes;
2007 Filmmaker Michael Moore turns his lens on to the American healthcare system and why we are the only developed nation that does not provide universal care for our citizens. The film explores the general topic of how the health system came to be a profit incentive for the private sector as well as specific stories of those who have been devastated by the system. Donna Smith, this year's Neibacher speaker, is featured with her family in the opening segment of Moore's important contribution to advocacy for health care reform.
Friday, June 13, 8:00 pm-10:00 pm
Short and feature-length films that explore homelessness and health care will be showcased in several simultaneous showings. Popcorn and a cash bar will be available. Discussion of these films will occur during the workshop "Using Art to Portray Homelessness: Consumers and Artists Speak" (Saturday, 8:30 am, Curtis B).
