SADOC Film Club Presents

Volunteer Opportunities Through SADOC

SADOC is currently acting as a volunteer for the San Marcos Housing Authority by assisting grade school children in the after school program at the Allen Wood location. We were also asked to help with an ongoing video project that will help promote the San Marcos Housing Authority and teach the children new and exciting information. Those interested in helping should contact SADOC President Amanda Austin at am1779@txstate.edu.

Remnants of a War
April 28th, 7pm
LBJ Teaching Theater

 

In the 2006 war between Hezbollah and Israel, one million cluster bomb munitions rained down upon the fields, orchards and villages of South Lebanon. An estimated 30% failed to detonate. Three years later, teams of locally recruited and trained deminers race to clear the land before more civilians are injured or killed.
Remnants of a War is a feature documentary, photographed in beautiful high definition, that takes an intimate look into the lives of these brave Muslims and Christians, Sunni and Shia, women and men. They work to make their land safe again, while their country endures the worst political and economic crisis in 15 years.
Director Jawad Metni filmed for over 2 years in South Lebanon, spending months embedded with the demining teams in the field. Remnants of a War is a primer on the cluster munition problem, and a portrait of a people struggling to make a living and return the land to their fellow Lebanese.

 

About SADOC
The Social Awareness Documentary Film Club aims to bring documentary films to the Texas State University and San Marcos, Texas communities that raise important questions about social justice.  This registered student organization hopes that through screenings and discussions, students, faculty, staff, and members of the larger community will be inspired to work together to make the world a safer, happier, more just place.  For more information, contact Dr. Jon Lasser at lasser@txstate.edu.

NEW: SADOC is now partnering with Keep San Marcos Beautiful by adopting Rio Vista Park. SADOC members will volunteer to clean the park at least 4 times/year.
