Students, faculty and Dayton community members can look forward to Sinclair College teaming up with local theater, The Neon,<\/a> to bring free movies to campus once again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Carter with Sinclair\u2019s College and Community Connections said this partnership has been going strong for years and is an outlet for everyone to gain more educational and social understanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe partnered with the Neon for a number of years,\u201d Carter said.\u00a0\u201cThey\u2019re an important fixture here in Dayton, and we want to support them.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n

This summer, featured films at The Neon included “Seeds,” a documentary showcasing Black farmers in America<\/a>, and “Billy Preston: That\u2019s the Way God Planned It,” a documentary on the life of the \u201cfifth Beatle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sinclair provided vouchers for 20 tickets to each showing as well as popcorn and drink coupons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While discussing “Seeds,” Carter said it was important for people to learn about agriculture in Black history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cJust finding amazing, interesting stories that tell sides and stories that we may not be aware of,\u201d Carter said.\u00a0\u201cSo we want people to find out about those things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sinclair\u2019s partnership with The Neon doesn\u2019t stop at “Seeds.”\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Billy Preston biopic dives into his career as a musician, while also being gay at a time when announcing one\u2019s sexuality was commonly career suicide.\u00a0Carter said movies like this allow for conversation on topics that may not typically be discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
