Mendocino College invites you to the upcoming film screening of More Than a Word.  The screening will be hosted on the Mendocino College Ukiah Campus at 1:30 p.m. on October 10th in the Little Theatre (Lowery Building).

More Than a Word analyzes the Washington football team and their use of the derogatory term R*dskins.  Using interviews from both those in favor of changing the name and those against, More Than a Word presents a deeper analysis of the many issues surrounding the Washington team name.  The documentary also examines the history of Native American cultural appropriation.  

Please join us for this important film, including an opportunity to meet the filmmakers!  Founders of Black Tongue Dakota Media, filmmakers John and Kenn Little, will be present for a Q&A and filmmakers discussion.
