Friends to present nonviolence documentary series

   As part of the YWCA’s "Week Without Violence" programming, Princeton Friends Meeting will be showing videos of three episodes of "A Force More Powerful," Thursday, Oct. 18, 7:30 p.m.
   "A Force More Powerful" is a documentary series of how nonviolent power overcame oppression and authoritarian rule.
   The first episode will focus on India during the 1930s. It will tell the story of how Gandhi and his followers, by adopting a strategy of noncooperation, civil disobedience and boycotting, set India on the path to freedom.
   The second episode will show how black college students in Nashville, Tenn., in the 1960s, successfully desegregated Nashville’s lunch counters.
   The third episode will deal with the wave of nonviolent protest in Chile in 1983 against the regime of Augusto Pinochet. Despite severe repression, the protests led to the organization of democratic opposition and the defeat of Pinochet in a 1988 referendum.
   The building, in which the program will take place, is on the grounds of Princeton Friends Meeting, located at 470 Quaker Road. Enter the parking lot from Quaker Road. Go as far as you can, walk along the cemetery wall on the side next to the Meeting House and enter the U-shaped building just beyond.
