    Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona encore return of “Green Book” showing Dec. 16-22 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.

    “Green Book” won three Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor for Mahershala Ali, and Best Original Screenplay. The film also received two other Oscar nominations, including Best Lead Actor for Viggo Mortensen and Best Film Editing.

    Academy Award-nominee Viggo Mortensen and Academy Award-winner Mahershala Ali star in Participant Media and DreamWorks Pictures’ “Green Book”.  In his foray into powerfully dramatic work as a feature director, Peter Farrelly helms the film inspired by a true friendship that transcended race, class and the 1962 Mason-Dixon line.

    When Tony Lip (Mortensen), a bouncer from an Italian-American neighborhood in the Bronx, is hired to drive Dr. Don Shirley (Ali), a world-class Black pianist, on a concert tour from Manhattan to the Deep South, they must rely on “The Green Book” to guide them to the few establishments that were then safe for African-Americans.

    The Sad Lesson of Tyre Nichols
    By Tommy Acosta
    Having grown up in the mean streets of the Bronx there is one lesson we learn early on, and that’s don’t mess with the cops when they got you down, and outnumbered. The beating of Tyre Nichols at the hands of the police preceding his death at the hospital could have been avoided if only he had the sense to not resist them. People fail to understand that on the streets, cops are basically “God.” You can’t fight them. If it takes one, two, five, ten or twenty officers they will eventually put you down and hurt you if they have to in the process of detaining or arresting you. In the Bronx we would fight amongst ourselves but when the cops came it was “Yes, officer. No, officer,” and do our best to look as innocent as possible. People need to understand that cops on the street represent the full power of the state and government. Read more→
