International Film Series presents Forks Over Knives
Forks Over Knives (2011) is the documentary feature that Roger Ebert said was “a film that can save your life”. Despite the most advanced medical technology in the world, we are sicker than ever by nearly every measure. Heart disease, cancer and stroke are the country's three leading causes of death, even though billions are spent each year to battle these very conditions. This film examines the profound claim that most, if not all, of the degenerative diseases that afflict us can be controlled, or even reversed, by rejecting animal-based and processed foods. The International Film Series is sponsored by Cochise College in partnership with CSP.

Opening reception for Forward Ever, Backward Never: Photos of the Selma March, 1965
"Forward Ever, Backward Never: Photos of the Selma March, 1965" provides viewers an inside look at a milestone in the civil rights movement from the lens of photographer James H. Barker. The exhibition documents the 51 mile journey through Alabama during the Selma march.
When the African American community of Selma attempted to march to the Alabama State Capitol in support of voter registration, they were brutally attacked by police. News images of the attack horrified the nation. Even though Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. joined the group for a second march, the group turned around when met with force outside Montgomery.
Twenty-eight year old James Barker was sitting anxiously at the airport hours after he was selected as one of the Washington State University staff to attend the third march. Days later, Barker and several thousand demonstrators began their successful march to the Capitol where King delivered one of his most powerful speeches. By the year’s end, President Johnson signed the Voter Rights Act ending discriminatory voter registration practices throughout the nation.
This exhibition features 74 of James Barker’s black and white photographs of the march. “To this day I cannot look at them without feeling grateful that I somehow stumbled into this opportunity to participate in one of the great moments of our country’s history”, he said. Last year “Forward Ever, Backward Never” was exhibited at the Rosa Parks Museum in Montgomery, Alabama.
Barker, a frequent visitor to Bisbee, has lived in Alaska for the last 35 years where he has documented Alaska Native life. He has published the photographic books “Always Getting Ready, Yup'ik Eskimo Subsistence in Southwest Alaska”, and “Yupiit Yuraryarait, Yup'ik Ways of Dancing”.The exhibition will remain on view through January 29. Gallery hours are Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
