Monday, May 19, 2014
(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Tonight’s Council Delegate Meeting at 6:30p will be held at the American Film
Institute in Silver
Spring (8633 Colesville Rd; Metro: Red Line, Silver
Spring; parking
info). “After a
brief
business meeting we'll view the film ‘Dirty
Pretty Things’ as
part of this year's DC Labor FilmFest,”
reports Metro Council president – and FilmFest Co-Chair – Jos
Williams. Set amidst London's largely invisible community of illegal
immigrants, Stephen Frears' film is a contemporary and highly original
multicultural urban thriller with a gritty, political edge, starring Chiwetel
Ejiofor (12 Years a Slave).
“We'll also be raffling off 2014 DC Labor FilmFest
t-shirts.” Download
