“STIX n’ STONZ Munny P.O.W Tour” is the promotional event introducing AFFA’s “Reel Grits – S.C. LGBT Film Festival. STIX n’ STONZ will challenge one of societies oldest school yard chants, “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.†While one cannot only be physically brutalized, the power given to a single word can emotionally abuse, dehumanize, socially stigmatize and divide a nation.

Joe Strummer – Film Screening – Savannah, GA
The Psychotronic Film Society of Savannah, in conjunction with local music aficionado Larry Dane-Kellogg and Sony Pictures, are proud to present a free showing of this award-winning (named Best British Documentary of 2007 by the British Independent Film Awards) feature-length look at the life and times of famed rock star Joe Strummer, front man of British punk legends The Clash.
Four years after his sudden and untimely death, Strummer’s influence reaches worldwide, perhaps more strongly than ever before. Director Temple, a close friend of Strummers, draws on their shared personal history in the punk movement (Temple directed The Sex Pistols’ infamous film THE GREAT ROCK & ROLL SWINDLE), and constructed this “biographical art movie†out of rare performance footage, home movies and animated sequences. It includes on-screen interviews with Bono, John Cusack, Steve Buscemi, Johnny Depp, Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Joe Ely, Mick Jagger, Jim Jarmusch and others. (Language Advisory).
