Volunteer members from ONE and partner organization Oxfam teamed together in the Twin Cities last week for screenings of two social justice themed movies, Sons of Lwala and Sisters On The Planet. The majority of the audience members took the opportunity to sign up for both campaigns prior to the movies, and then enjoyed free showings.

“Sisters On the Planet” was presented by Oxfam and shares the stories of four inspirational women who are fighting back against climate change. “Sons of Lwala” was presented by ONE and presents the story of two brothers from Kenya who become doctors in America. After losing their parents to AIDS, they are left with the task of returning home to finish the health clinic their father started.

After each movie, viewers learned how they could get further involved with both campaigns.
