No one should face winter without protection from the cold. Guided by that belief, Frontwave Credit Union has launched its Give360 Coat and Comfort Drive, calling on the community to share new or gently used warm coats, clean blankets and practical shoes with neighbors experiencing hardship. Running from December 1 through January 16, the drive brings together Frontwave branches, Frontwave Arena and local nonprofit partners to support individuals and families throughout San Diego, Riverside and San Bernardino counties. The Coat and Comfort Drive is one of the ways Give360 brings Frontwave’s commitment to community to life. By partnering directly with shelters, outreach teams and regional nonprofits, Frontwave helps ensure every donated coat, blanket and pair of shoes reaches people who rely on them, whether they are sleeping outdoors, staying in temporary housing or working toward stability. It is practical support delivered where it matters most. “Winter can be an unforgiving time for our neighbors who lack the basics,” said Bill Birnie, President and CEO of Frontwave Credit Union. “Give360 brings our community together, and teaming up with partners like Frontwave Arena helps us reach even more people who need warmth and care this season. When we show up for one another, we strengthen every part of the communities we serve.” For many people experiencing homelessness, one pair of shoes is all they have. When that pair breaks down, there is no easy replacement. Shoes wear out quickly when people spend long hours outdoors or walk long distances for basic needs, which is why practical shoes such as sneakers, walking shoes and sturdy boots are a major focus of this year’s drive. Community members can support the Coat and Comfort Drive in three simple ways: Donate at a Frontwave branch by dropping off new or gently used coats, blankets and shoes. Donate at Frontwave Arena on event days or at the box office Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Donate online with a tax-deductible donation and Frontwave will buy the items needed most. To make giving simple, donors are encouraged to check closets for items no longer worn, repurpose outgrown children’s coats or take advantage of seasonal sales to pick up an extra item for someone in need. All donated items should be clean and in good condition so they can be distributed right away. Frontwave is proud to support nonprofit partners across the regions it serves, including Interfaith Community Services, Humanity Showers, Operation HOPE North County and the Brother Benno Foundation in San Diego County. The drive also supports Desert Sanctuary and Morongo Basin ARCH in San Bernardino County, along with Mission Hope Resource Center in Riverside County. About Frontwave Credit Union Eight Members.

"Major threat" for Best Doc Oscar – The Hollywood Reporter "Scrupulous, powerful... too significant to ignore." – The Los Angeles Times "Coolly damning... shrewdly edited. A welcome addition to the historically grounded rebukes to Riefenstahl and her apologists." – The New York Times German Currents Kino screenings will take place on Friday, September 19 at 7 p.m. and Sunday, September 21 at 3 p.m. German Currents Kino screenings are made possible with the support of the Goethe-Institut Los Angeles. Filmmaker and Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl is considered one of the most controversial women of the 20th century. Her films Triumph of the Will and Olympia are defined by their fascist aesthetics, perfectly-staged body worship, and the celebration of all that is "superior" and victorious, simultaneously projecting contempt for the imperfect and weak. But Riefenstahl – who first broke into the German film industry as an actress – spent decades after the war denying her association with Nazi ideology, and claiming ignorance of the Holocaust. How did she become the Reich's preeminent filmmaker if she was just a hired hand? Riefenstahl examines this question using never-before-seen documents from Leni Riefenstahl's estate, including private films, photos, recordings and letters, uncovering fragments of her biography and placing them in an extended historical context. During her long life after the fall of Nazism, she remained unapologetic, managing to control and shape her legacy; in personal documents, she mourns her "murdered ideals." Meanwhile, her work would experience a renaissance, gaining esteem for its masterful technical skill. Today, Riefenstahl's aesthetics are more present than ever. Is that also true for their message? In an era where fascism is on the rise again, fake news is prevalent, and the meaning of political imagery is constantly dissected and debated, Andres Veiel's mesmerizing new film shows that Leni Reifenstahl is more relevant than ever.
