The 2012 Rivers of Justice Film Festival will take place on Saturday, March 31 from 7-10:30 pm at the Riviera Theatre in downtown Three Rivers. Organized by World Fare, a non-profit, volunteer-run fair trade store, the festival will feature two feature length films. Miss Representation (7:00 p.m.) is an eye-opening documentary about media representations of women and the absence of women in positions of influence in the United States. The second film, Last Train Home (9:00 p.m.), follows a Chinese migrant couple on their annual visit to see their children, showing how globalization is affecting the lives of people around the world, young and old, men and women alike. The event will take place at the Riviera Theatre (50 N. Main St.), with a reception to follow across the street at World Fare (37 N. Main). World Fare will also host a free pre-festival discussion with coffee and tea from 4:30-5:30 that afternoon. $5 tickets include a $5 gift certificate for World Fare.
