At Brooklyn Ethical, we don’t just watch films. We gather around them.
The Film Club is a bi-weekly drop-in screening for neighbors and film lovers who want more than passive entertainment. Each night we share a carefully chosen documentary or classic, then stay for a facilitated conversation where reactions, questions, disagreements, and personal stories are welcome. No expertise required, only curiosity.
Some films help us understand history. Some illuminate care and community. Others simply remind us how wide human experience really is.
Light snacks, open seating, and a room full of people thinking together. Come for the film. Stay for the conversation.

Drowned Land
April 12, 2:30 PM
Suggested Donation: $10
Drowned Land is a documentary that follows a group of water protectors fighting to defend the Kiamichi River in southeastern Oklahoma from large-scale water extraction and environmental exploitation. As outside interests threaten to drain and sell off this vital resource, the film traces the deep connections between land, culture, and survival, especially for Indigenous communities whose histories are rooted in the region. Through personal stories and on-the-ground activism, Drowned Land reveals what’s at stake when water, land, and community are treated as commodities instead of lifelines.
The Lorax
April 19, 2:30 PM
FREE
Join us for a family-friendly screening of The Lorax, a fun and colorful film that brings Dr. Seuss’s classic story to life. This special event is designed for all ages, with Lorax-themed snacks (vegan-friendly!), playful decorations, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
We’re encouraging kids and families to come dressed in costume, whether you’re channeling the Lorax, a Truffula tree, or your own creative take. There will also be a photo booth to capture the fun. Come hang out, enjoy the movie, and spend time in community.
This is a free event and all are welcome.
