Join the [Veg Society of DC (VSDC)](vsdc.org) for the animal rights/vegan-themed Movie Watch Party on Saturday, December 7, in Fairfax VA. Socializing beforehand and discussion about the movie afterwards is planned.
This month’s movie is [Humans and Other Animals](https://www.humansandotheranimalsmovie.com/), produced and directed by Mark Devries, a 2024 “documentary film that takes viewers on an epic journey, from witnessing firsthand how animals think, use language, and feel love… to dangerous investigations of powerful industries, using custom-built equipment and never-before-attempted tactics… to a profound philosophical idea that may forever change how we view other animals—and ourselves.”
The VSDC member hosts’ home in Fairfax has a small home theater that can accommodate around 20 people. This regular event is a fun way to learn, discuss, and meet vegans and vegan-curious people (Thanks to Mindy Kursban and David Kwiatkowski for hosting!).
FEE: The $10 fee will cover the hosts’ expenses for the event, including food, beverages, and other associated costs. If there are any proceeds beyond these costs, which we don’t expect, they will go towards VSDC’s work to fulfill its mission. In order to ensure the success of the evening and limit late cancellations, the fee is refundable until 5 days before the event.
FOOD: Pizza, salad, fruit, and dessert. Everyone is also welcome to bring vegan food or beverages to share.
WHO: All VSDC and Meetup members are invited. Bringing a non-vegan friend is encouraged.
WHEN: Saturday, December 7 starting at 6:30 pm. We will begin watching the film around 7.
WHERE: The home is in Fairfax VA 22033, near Inova Fair Oaks Hospital. It is 8 miles from the closest metro at either Vienna or Reston (Uber or Lyft would be necessary). **For safety and security reasons, the exact location will be emailed privately via Meetup about 2 days in advance to those who have rsvp’d Yes.** Please make sure your email is current in Meetup, your Meetup settings allow organizer messages, and check your spam if you don’t receive the message.
PARKING: There is plenty of free parking within a 3-minute walk of the home.
*You must register via this page to attend the event.* A Pay Pal account is required to pay the $10. Because there is a cost for the event, Meetup doesn’t have a waitlist for the movie. If it is full and you are interested in attending, please contact the host.
