SUMMARY:Penn State Film Series - Shoplifters
DESCRIPTION:The fourth and final film in this year’s Global Oscar Film Series is the Japanese movie Shoplifters. \nOn the margins of Tokyo\, a dysfunctional band of outsiders are united by fierce loyalty\, a penchant for petty theft and playful grifting. When the young son is arrested\, secrets are exposed that upend their tenuous\, below-the-radar existence and test their quietly radical belief that it is love—not blood—that defines a family. Directed by Hirokazu Kore-eda

SUMMARY:Alice Paul: Women's Suffragist with Hallie Vaughan
DESCRIPTION:Alice Paul was a vocal leader of the 20th Century women’s suffrage movement. Born on 1/11/1885 in Mount Laurel\, NJ\, she was brought up with the Quaker traditions of gender equality and working to improve society. She graduated from Swarthmore College in 1905 and would earn 4 more degrees in her lifetime. She joined the National American Women’s Suffrage Association and led the Washington DC Chapter. After splitting with NAWSA and forming the National Women’s Party\, she organized parades and pickets\, concentrating on a national effort to achieve the passage of women’s right to vote.  The Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States was passed by Congress June 4\, 1919\, ratified by the required three-fourths passage of the states August 18\, 1920 and became law August 26\, 1920.\nWith the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment\, Alice Paul focused on equal rights first as a proposed  Constitutional amendment and then as legislation to guarantee women  protection from discrimination in education\, employment and all other pursuits in life.  She  spent her long  life advocating for these and other women’s issues.  She died in Moorestown\, New Jersey\, July 9\, 1977. \nHallie Vaughan was born in Erie\, PA\, but moved to Berks County at age 12. She graduated from Wilson High School\, Slippery Rock University and Gratz College. She taught for 31 years in the Muhlenberg School District\, teaching mostly third and fourth grades.
