So Fresh Saturdays Presents: Docs and Dialogue is a series of documentaries screened monthly by residents of Englewood who are between the ages of 12-19.
The purpose of Docs and Dialogue is to empower youth by allowing them to critique documentaries dealing with social issues, stereotypes, race-related issues and gender exploitation, all while enjoying a safe space off the streets of Englewood.
Docs and Dialogue was created by Englewood residents, Ay-Sha Butler and Simone Yancy. The first launch took place back in May of this year and was held at the Perry Mansion Culture Center in Englewood.
Why is this important for the youth? Butler exclaims, "It's a way to teach out-of-the classroom concepts and its a way to educate and evaluate the consciousness of our youth in Englewood."

Every month Docs and Dialogue is screened in various locations throughout Englewood. The next series will be August 21, 2010 at the Hamilton Culture Center located at 513 w. 72nd Street, from 3pm-5pm.
The event is free to public and for more information about Docs and Dialogue visit http://sofreshsaturdays.vpweb.com/default.html.
