Program Description

Event Details

Join us the second Friday of each month to enjoy a fascinating film from another country! This series will feature comedies, dramas, musicals, romances, and thrillers from around the world. Each movie will be a window into another culture and a new opportunity to broaden your horizons. Come along with us on this exciting cinematic adventure! 

In celebration of Valentine's Day, our Feb. 14th feature will be the 2016 British film A United Kingdom (PG-13). This historical romance tells the inspiring true story of Seretse Khama, the King of Bechuanaland (modern Botswana), and Ruth Williams, the London office worker he married in 1948 in the face of fierce opposition from both the British and South African governments. Seretse and Ruth defied family, Apartheid and empire to be together; in doing so, they transformed their nation and inspired the world.

 

All are welcome; no registration is required.
