CLEARLAKE – Another full-to-capacity crowd Sunday evening saw Second Sunday Cinema's free film for February, 9/11: The Myth and the Reality.

Edwin Christwitz, who runs the projector (and a lot more) every month said happily, "It looks like we'll have to rearrange everything to accommodate more people!"

Shannon Tolson, SSC coordinator agrees, and says she'd like to purchase a used screen that's in good shape to allow that.

This 9/11 film is exceptional in its adherence to "just the facts, Ma'am." It methodically demolished nine untruths that are widely accepted. For example, the 9/11 Commission Report did not even address the collapse of WTC Building No. 7, which was not hit by a plane and was documented to have only two or three small fires.

The audience voted to see Promises, a very moving documentary about children who live in Israel and Palestine, their beliefs, their day of fun together, and promises made. A cautionary tale.

And speaking of cautionary tales, the documentary Farmingville was only one vote behind Promises, so is likely to be screened soon. It documented what happened when men from Mexico came to a town in central Long Island to work in construction. Do we here in Lake County need to learn how to do a better job of avoiding problems than was done in Farmingville?

Many generous people came to the show with gifts of cookies, fruit and other snacks for everyone. They are very appreciated, and really in the spirit of Second Sunday Cinema.
