Documentaries can build awareness and tolerance, which is exactly what UT’s double feature of Troop 1500 and Voices of Witness Africa aims to provide on Friday, April 1. A candid look at a unique Girl Scout Troop 1500,this film isn’t just about selling cookies and earning badges—rather, it follows a program that unites girls with their imprisoned mothers on a monthly basis. Gathering stories of persecution and secrecy, Voices of Witness Africa chronicles people of faith who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender across the continent. Free. 7:30pm. University of Toledo, Center for Performing Arts-Lab Theatre, 2801 Bancroft St. 419-530-2452. www.utoledo.edu/as/theatrefilm/index
