“The People Speak” to be Screened in Manzanita on June 26th

peoplespeak-1The Manzanita Film Series is proud to present “The People Speak” on June 26th at 7p.m. at the Hoffman Center in Manzanita. Admission will be $6.

Using dramatic and musical performances of the letters, diaries and speeches of everyday Americans, “The People Speak” gives voice to those who spoke up for social change throughout U.S. history, forging a nation from the bottom up with their insistence on equality and justice. Narrated by Howard Zinn and based on his best-selling book, A People’s History of the United States, “The People Speak” illustrates the relevance of these passionate historical moments to our society today and reminds us never to take our liberty for granted.

Ekahni Books will be on hand selling books about film history, and books related to people quoted in the film (including A People’s History of the United States) at a 20% discount.

The Manzanita Film Series is a program of the Hoffman Center in Manzanita, Oregon. Films will be screened on the 4th weekend of the month throughout the year. Admission is $6 and theater concessions, as well as beer and wine, will be available for purchase.
