As part of the Democracy: The Power of One Film Series, WUWU Community Radio will screen 3 films during the months of March, April and May. Each film will be screened at 7pm on the last Thursday of the month at the Garden Theater.
The first film will be Radical Disciple: The Story of Father Pfleger.
This film shares the story of Catholic iconoclast Michael Pfleger who made it his mission to transform the drug ravaged south side Chicago community surrounding his parish. In so doing, Father Mike has run directly into conflict with the local Catholic hierarchy. The film explores issues of racism, the power of the media, and the tension between Pfleger’s ‘gospel of the streets’ versus traditional Church theology.
