We need you in the pews! Come ready to gasp\, laugh\, cheer\, and wake the dead.

SUMMARY:Meaningful Movies Ballard presents "The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist"
DESCRIPTION:In October\, we will be showing The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist\, a film that takes on one of the biggest issues shaping our lives right now: artificial intelligence. \nFrom the filmmakers behind Everything\, Everywhere\, All at Once and Navalny\, The AI Doc follows filmmaker and father-to-be Daniel Roher as he tries to understand the rapidly changing world of AI. Rather than simply presenting AI as either good or bad\, the documentary explores its possibilities as well as its risks. It brings together voices from across the AI conversation and asks what this technology could mean for our jobs\, communities\, relationships\, democracy\, creativity\, and future. It’s designed to make a complicated subject approachable – and to get people talking about what role we want AI to play in our lives. \nA discussion with McKane Andrus from the Human Centered Design & Engineering Dept at UW follows the film.

SUMMARY:Movie Screening of Plastic People: The Hidden Crisis of Microplastics
DESCRIPTION:The award-winning feature documentary Plastic People investigates our addiction to plastic and the growing threat of microplastics on human health. Almost every bit of plastic ever made breaks down into “microplastics.” These microscopic particles drift in the air\, float in all bodies of water\, and mix into the soil\, becoming a permanent part of the environment. \nNow\, leading scientists are finding these particles in our bodies: organs\, blood\, brain tissue\, and even the placentas of new mothers. What is the impact of these invisible invaders on our health? And can anything be done about it? \nStay for our post-film discussion featuring special guest Heather Trim\, Executive Director of Zero Waste Washington. She will share insights and offer ideas for reducing microplastics. Enjoy treats from our Intermission Sponsor: Mighty-O’s Donuts. \nSustainable Ballard and Center for Spiritual Living Ballard partner with the Meaningful Movies project to present documentaries in our neighborhood. \nThis event is free to attend\, and we gratefully welcome donations to help cover the costs of presenting our films. Thank you for your support.
