 Film Director Eric Fournier will be there to answer questions about the

 series & benefit at El Rio’s outdoor patio.  On July 14, come see Of 
 Civil Wrongs and Rights: the Fred Korematsu Story, a film about Fred 
 Korematsu, an American who resisted, and then challenged in court, the 
 forced internment of Japanese-Americans during World War II.  Korematsu 
 lost his landmark Supreme Court case in 1944, but never his indignation and 
 resolve. Of Civil Wrongs and Rights documents the 40-year legal fight to 
 vindicate Korematsu - one that finally turned a civil injustice into a 
 civil rights victory.  Director Eric Fournier, will be there to answer 
 questions. See the film on Monday, July 14, at 8pm on the back patio at El 
 Rio, 3158 Mission Street, San Francisco. Bring an $8 to $20 donation, no 
 one turned away for lack of funds. Proceeds benefit NLG-SF; the event is 
 wheelchair accessible.\n\nOn August 11, the next film in this series will 
 be Committing Poetry in Times of War.\n\nProceeds from the film festival 
 will benefit the National Lawyers Guild San Francisco Bay Area Chapter.  
 The NLGSF is the largest chapter of the New York-based National Lawyers 
 Guild (NLG), in existence since 1937.  Dedicated to the need for basic 
 change in the structure of our political and economic system, the NLG is an 
 association seeking to unite the lawyers, law students, legal workers and 
 jailhouse lawyers of America, to function as an effective political and 
 social force in the service of the people, to the end that human rights 
 shall be regarded as more sacred than property interests.  In the Bay Area, 
 the NLG organizes a number of programs including: Immigrant Rights and 
 Immigration Court Monitoring; Demonstration Legal Support; Post 9-11 Civil 
 Liberties Assistance; Thomas Steel LGBT Legal Internships; and more. Find
