Indie on Wheels: A Decent Home — free movie in the community from Independent Picture House

Indie on Wheels is a movie series in which Independent Picture House screens movies in the community. These are free events and can also include a post-movie discussion.

The next Indie on Wheels features A Decent Home at Sugar Creek Library, 4045 N Tryon Street, Charlotte, North Carolina, on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, at 5:45 p.m.

‘A Decent Home’ is a documentary about manufactured homes in America. Focused on how these last vestiges of affordable housing are facing trials as rich landowners raise rent and evict them from the land they rent, but do not own. This is a topic the Charlotte community, as well as other cities throughout the county, faces every day.

Indie on Wheels will include a screening of the documentary followed by an audience discussion with YWCA Central Carolinas’ Rebecca Stickel, LCSW and Pivot Point Transitional Housing’s Bary Shipp. As Director of Housing, Rebecca oversees the Women In Transition program and Families Together program. YWCA’s housing programs provide safe, affordable housing and intensive support services for families and women facing homelessness in Charlotte. Barry Shipp is the Founder and CEO of Pivot Point Transitional Housing, a Charlotte-based nonprofit that builds safe, supportive, dignified places as a “pivot point” for achieving more productive, satisfying, and self-directed lives.

This program is sponsored by Culture Blocks— a community partnership between ASC, Charlotte Mecklenburg Library and Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation to bring arts and cultural experiences closer to where residents live. Culture Blocks is funded by Mecklenburg County.

RSVPs are appreciated. Space is limited.
