DESCRIPTION:\n\nFilm evenings begin with potluck refreshments and social hour at  6:30 
 pm,\nfollowed by the film at  7:30 pm, followed by a discussion after the 
 film.\n\nTHE BROKEN MOON\nby Marcos Negrao and Andre Rangel\n\nThis deep, 
 thoughtful, and very beautiful documentary is about the last of the 
 Himalayan nomads.  Beyond the mountains of the Western Himalaya, Sonam, an 
 old nomad man, lives with his tribe in one of the most adverse, remote, and 
 isolated corners of the planet;  but a sudden change in the climate is 
 drying most of the rivers and transforming several valleys into deserts.  
 As the sun beats down and the wind whips dust into his eyes, Sonam 
 struggles across a desperate, arid landscape.  His region faces the most 
 dramatic temperature rises on the planet.  The climate has changed, 
 suddenly turning his once beautiful world into an endless desert.  Unable 
 to survive in a traditional way and witnessing the collapse of his own 
 people, Sonam starts a desperate quest to find answers and change their 
 future.  Now he and his people face a desperate decision:  whether or not 
 to leave their homeland forever or stay on and fight the increasingly 
 extreme weather.  The story told in this film is a history of faith and 
 sacrifice of a people who are already suffering the effects of climate 
 change.\n\nWheelchair accessible around the corner at  411  28th
