The Anti Racist Film Club podcast is a monthly conversation about films which highlight stories of Black people, Indigenous People or People of Color (BIPOC) in order to grow together in our intercultural competency, awareness of systemic racism, and our role as people of faith in the work of anti racism. ARFC is a ministry of the South Sound United Methodist Co-operative... but we also just like movies too.
