Every 3rd Thursday we will be screening a documentary related to sustainability at the Center for Spiritual Living Ballard. In September, we will be showing&nbsp;Ultimate Citizens, the story of Jamshid Khajavi, an extraordinary 65-year-old Iranian American public school counselor who uses the sport of Ultimate Frisbee to help children heal. The story is centered around a program at Hazel Wolf school in Seattle.&nbsp;In an America where many families are quietly, barely getting by, Mr. Jamshid coaches an underdog team of kids on their way to compete in the world&rsquo;s largest youth tournament. ULTIMATE CITIZENS is a celebration of resilience and belonging, and the third independent feature documentary from award-winning filmmaker Francine Strickwerda.&nbsp; A discussion with Ultimate Frisbee coach and former Nationals and Worlds player Michael Vacirca follows the film.&nbsp;<img src="http://www.sustainableballard.org/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/meaningful-movies-300x162.jpg" alt="meaningful movies" width="300" height="162" fr-original-style="" style="cursor: pointer; padding: 0px 1px; user-select: none; max-width: 100%; position: relative; box-sizing: inherit;" fr-original-class="fr-draggable">&nbsp; &nbsp;Sustainable Ballard and Center for Spiritual Living Ballard partner with the <a fr-original-style="" href="https://meaningfulmovies.org/" style="text-decoration-color: currentcolor; user-select: auto; box-sizing: inherit;" target="_blank">Meaningful Movies Project</a> to present documentaries in our neighborhood.
