Puerto Vallarta, Mexico - The Costa Banderas Chapter of Democrats Abroad Mexico is launching its Fifth Annual Film Series on a new night and at a new location. This year, the weekly films will be shown at the Puerto Vallarta International Friendship Club on Wednesday nights at 7:00 pm.

The popular series features stimulating, first-run films shown in the International Friendship Club's wonderfully conducive venue, which you will enjoy in the company of other film-buffs. I think you'll agree that it is well worth the price of admission.

The list of December films is as follows:

December 3rd - Twenty Feet from Stardom

An Oscar-winning 2013 American documentary film directed by filmmaker Morgan Neville and produced by Gil Friesen, a music industry executive whose curiosity to know more about the lives of background singers inspired the making of the film. The film follows the behind-the-scenes of backup singers and stars Darlene Love, Judith Hill, Merry Clayton, Lisa Fischer, Táta Vega, and Jo Lawry, among many others. The performances are terrific. 91 minutes.

December 10th - Citizen Koch

Set against the rise of the Tea Party in the aftermath of the US Supreme Court's 2010 Citizens United ruling, a citizen uprising to recall Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker collides with the Tea Party-aligned "Americans for Prosperity," a group founded and lavishly financed by two of the world's richest men -David and Charles Koch. The film demonstrates the Right's blueprint for taking over the USA one state at a time. 90 minutes.

December 17th - Too Big to Fail

A dramatization of the events of the financial collapse of 2008 portraying the machinations behind-the-scenes between the White House and the financial industry. Starring William Hurt, Ed Asner, Billy Crudup, Paul Giamatti, Tony Shalhoub, and James Woods. 99 minutes.
