DESCRIPTION:Friday, August 15, 7:30 pm\n1924 Berkeley Fellowship of Unitarian 
 Universalists’ Hall\nCedar (@ Bonita), Berkeley\n\nKids all over the 
 world want to rebel, and close friends Peter Muller (Robert Sean Leonard) 
 and Thomas Berger (Christian Bale), although they're growing up in Nazi 
 Germany, are no different. Their rebellion against conformity took the form 
 of listening and dancing to banned American swing music. As this musical 
 genre was dominated by Jewish and African-American composers, it was of 
 course defined as “degenerate” by the Nazis.  But when an innocent 
 prank forces Peter and Thomas into the Hitler Youth, their friendship and 
 their mutual sense of right and wrong are put to the test. The film pits 
 youthful camaraderie against the seductiveness of populist fascism. The 
 well-choreographed dance sequences are very popular with swing dance 
 enthusiasts, and probably contributed to the swing dance revival in the 
 ‘90s.\n\nPresented by BFUU Social Justice Ctee’s Conscientious
