Program description: After its inaugural term in 2024, Doc & Talk is back with three sessions and six new documentaries to review and discuss. Documentaries abound in our high-tech world, and there are many fascinating, innovative, and controversial ones that deserve our collective attention. These sessions are roundtable discussions, with all opinions and insights welcome. We encourage a space of lively sharing and debate, safe from censorship. For the first session, participants are asked to watch Brainwashed and Linda’s Last Trip, both available through Vancouver Island Regional Library’s Kanopy streaming site. Participants are encouraged to suggest any others they would like to explore in the remaining sessions.
Program Leader: Lorrie Beauchamp
Lorrie Beauchamp is a researcher and writer who has lived in Sooke for the past five years. A long-time cinephile, she averages five movies and/or documentaries a week, and then annoys all her friends trying to discuss them. So she thought—why not make it a learning opportunity?
Number of sessions: 3
