WKAR Community Cinema
Engaging Communities through Film
Community Cinema is a national civic engagement initiative featuring free screenings and curricula for films from the Emmy Award-winning PBS series Independent Lens. In 100 cities and online, community members come together to learn, discuss, and get involved in key social issues of our time.
Here in mid-Michigan, hundreds have joined the discussion at WKAR screenings with community leaders.
The current season of WKAR Community Cinema is sponsored by MSU Residential College in the Arts and Humanities.
