Studio at 620, Kenneth D. Alston, Ray Arsenault, September G. Penn, Fredrick Eugene Alexander, Chelsi A. Butler, Re Phillips, and Ray Arsenault
“...Passages of Martin Luther King has an important message for China and for people everywhere, because it shows that a great leader is also a human being like the rest of us. The play tells us that even ordinary people can do extraordinary things.”
The life affirming pulse of the gospel music performed in the show amplifies that same message of hope and humanity.
Ray Aresenault will moderate the Social Justice Round Table discussion, immediately following the concert. Ray Aresenault is author of the New York Times reviewed bestseller "Freedom Riders 1961 and the Struggle for Racial Justice"; which will be documented on the PBS Series: American Experience.

"When Derek Miner and I came up with the idea to do a film festival in the St. Petersburg area we originally thought, 'Well here's a chance for people to get a look at some good locally made films along with a few films from other parts of the country'. Then we got started with the project and the next thing you know, not only were local filmmakers submitting their projects but filmmakers from all over the world. We received close to 200 films from across the USA, Canada, Australia, Sweden, Germany, Italy, and the UK, With so many quality films to choose from we were easily able to fill our schedule with truly entertaining movies...We hope you thoroughly enjoy the lineup of films for this years and we look forward to seeing you at future St. Petersburg/Clearwater Film Society events and, of course, the next SunScreen Festival." -Tony Amer
