Speaker:  Greg Autry, co-author of "Death By China".  Private reception to follow Q&A.

Admission:  $20 or with Festival Pass.  Tickets available online (see our website) or at the door.


Death by China is a new film based on the book by Peter Navarro and Greg Autry which challenges the dominant paradigm of a "Chinese Miracle" - the one featuring a modernizing, progressive Chinese state heading toward political reform and driving global economic growth with its new found embrace of capitalism and freedom. Tearing this delusion away, Death by China documents the myriad ways that a powerful, wealthy, and corrupt Chinese Communist Party emboldened by a growing nationalistic frenzy is becoming the biggest threat to global peace, prosperity, and health since Nazi Germany.

"A truly life-changing, mouth-dropping documentary film...Peter Navarro's 'Death by China' grabs you by the throat and never lets go."
     -Francesca McCaffery, Blackbook Magazine

Please join us for an exclusive presentation by Marc Lebuis - the proprietor of Le Point De Bascule Canada blog - on the Muslim Brotherhood in Canada.

Point de bascule, or the tipping point, is a Montreal-based French language webmagazine. It is dedicated to explore and expose Islamist activities in our midst, and I invite everybody to check out his site.

Marc's presenation will follow the film "Losing Our Sons".

Losing Our Sons Trailer HD
A searing true story from America's heartland, Losing Our Sons tells of two American families whose lives intersected through a shattering act of violence. Melvin Bledsoe, a small business owner in Memphis, watched with pride as his son Carlos went to Tennessee State University in Nashville to better his life through education. Daris Long, an ex-Marine, felt honored that his son, Andy, chose to follow in his footsteps by joining the military. But when Carlos Bledsoe murdered Andy Long in Little Rock, Arkansas, both fathers are forced to confront a new kind of American nightmare. As Melvin traced the trail that led Carlos from Nashville to Yemen and then to Little Rock, Daris confronted an American government that seems to be in denial about what happened to his son. This powerful documentary provides a moment of clarity for people who care about their families and their country's future.

"Heartbreaking and infuriating ... an anguished wake-up call."
    Jeff Jacoby, Columnist, Boston Globe

"Riveting, powerful, educational and a must see for every American"
