Bertha Movie House
Genre: PSA Documentary
Duration: 4 minutes
At the Bertha Movie House they love stories. Stories help us to organise our thoughts and ideas, our responses and expressions in our societies, and our plans and commitments to change things. Stories happen all over in many different ways, but experiencing them on a big screen in the dark often amplifies our organisation processes.
Bertha Movie House make a point of sharing our experiences in discussions after their screenings. There are debates, panels of filmmakers, scholars, NGO workers et al. These unite and divide us - and this is where community happens.
