Glide Memorial Church stands as a beacon of welcome and home in the midst of San Francisco\u2019s Tenderloin, as it has for decades, offering services and 2,000 meals daily to the neighborhood\u2019s impoverished, sometimes troubled, and often unhoused residents.<\/p>\n
Now, it is also the setting for \u201cFire Within,\u201d Laetitia Jacquart and Corinne Sullivan\u2019s insightful documentary that portrays a year in the life of this extraordinary house of worship and those it serves.<\/p>\n
The filmmakers spent a year with the community, finding among its members Terry and Harry, group facilitators working to help people living at the margins gain a stable foothold in society; Dawn, a single mother separated from her children; and Tony, a Black gay man struggling with the challenges of being homeless.<\/p>\n
The film screens Friday, June 12, at the Smith Rafael Film Center as part of Celebrate Pride Month with\u00a0CAFilm: A Weekend of LGBTQ+ Cinema, with Jacquart, the Rev. Harry Williams and Miss Terry in attendance.<\/p>\n
It will also screen at the San Francisco International LGBTQ+ Film Festival at the Roxie Theater on June 22.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Glide Memorial Church stands as a beacon of welcome and home in the midst of San Francisco\u2019s Tenderloin,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":348076,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[329,7,35717,839,1450,838,101,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":["post-348075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-arts-and-entertainment","tag-california","tag-datebook-pick","tag-festivals","tag-marin","tag-movies-and-tv","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348075","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=348075"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/348075\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/348076"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=348075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=348075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=348075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
