It is with great excitement that J2E announces we will be in collaboration with Samoan Solutions to host a FREE Community Film Screening of Before the Moon Falls.

Following the screening, we invite you to join us for a community Talanoa session to process together, ask questions, and dive deeper into conversations surrounding cultural influence, community care, and clinical support.
We are honored to welcome Before the Moon Falls Film Director Kimberlee Bassford, Cultural Advisor Natalie Ah Soon, and Mental Health Clinician Tina Sataraka for this meaningful Talanoa discussion, led by Caroline Tuipe Washington and EoM's very own, Lueni Masina.

📍 Location:
South San Francisco Council Chambers
901 Civic Campus Way
South San Francisco, CA
(Please see campus map attached for Chambers location and parking)

🕔 Time:
Doors Open at 5:45 PM
Screening then Talanoa: 6:00 PM - 9:00PM

Cost: FREE for the community! ALL AGES WELCOME!

Along with the film screening and Talanoa, J2E will also have:
• Light Refreshments
• Onsite Mental Health Services
• Community Resources
• Raffles

Lastly, this event would not have been possible without the collective effort, partnership, and heartwork of the many organizations and community members who helped bring this space together.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact Lueni Masina by email or phone at lmasina@aars.org or (415) 243-6328.

We hope to see you there!
