We'd like to thank our other sponsors for this film series: series founders Yuma Sun, and the Historic Yuma Theatre; AWC/NAU Academic Library; and KAWC Colorado River Public Media.

We're not screening anything in July, but will be back in time for AWC classes to start the THIRD WEEK OF AUGUST (Aug 23) - so we'll meet again in about 2.5 months.
