Wed. Oct 15, 7pm: “12 Angry Men”
In this classic film from 1957, we explore many elements of human nature that can cloud our judgment and stop us from being able to see things as they are. Biases, prejudices, personal experiences, and assumptions surface as the jurors deliberate, shaping how each man interprets the evidence. The story reveals how difficult it can be to separate fact from opinion—and how essential it is to confront our own blind spots if we want to see things more clearly.

Join facilitator Marla Estes, MA, and learn how to “depolarize within.” Watch fascinating and insightful videos carefully selected to explore ways to depolarize and then engage in a facilitated discussion to help integrate new perspectives.
With a background in Psychology, Marla created Building Bridgers in 2017 to address the growing social and political polarization in our country.
For nearly 20 years, she has been giving presentations, movie nights, book groups, workshops, and classes helping people learn to develop insights and skills in approaching difficult conversations, deepening and growing healthy, functional, and fulfilling relationships.
