AMERICAN DOCTOR

Sunday's screening of AMERICAN DOCTOR was a very big success, and we've had several requests to add a show. In addition to tonight's screening, we will offer this powerful doc one more time on Saturday, Sept. 26 at 3:00.
"When three American doctors — Palestinian, Jewish, and Zoroastrian — enter Gaza to save lives, they find themselves caught between medicine and politics, risking everything to expose the truth."
This doc is already in the conversation as being a big contender for this year's Oscar.

Tickets are $12.50 each.

BERNSTEIN'S WALL

3 SCREENINGS ONLY! "Douglas Tirola’s thrilling documentary BERNSTEIN’S WALL traces Leonard Bernstein’s lifelong struggle to create social change and bring people together through his work. The film presents the sweeping grandeur of Bernstein’s life alongside his thoughts about America, politics, race, family, media, sex, and religion. The son of a Russian Jewish immigrant, Bernstein rose to become Conductor of the New York Philharmonic and a towering figure in classical music, Broadway, television, and culture. Yet behind the icon was a vulnerable and conflicted artist wrestling to balance his ambitions, sexuality, religion, and the family he deeply loved. Guided by Bernstein’s voice, BERNSTEIN’S WALL draws on archival footage, photographs, personal letters, family audio, and highlights from his career to create a portrait of one of the 20th century’s most prominent icons."

Robert Reich -
THE WORK IN PROGRESS

"If you were invited to sit at a table with someone you’ve never met before and answer handwritten questions from a wooden box about the state of America, would you run the other way? THE WORK IN PROGRESS invites strangers from across generations and geographies to engage in candid discussions about America’s ever-evolving democracy, identity, and definitions of community — and where the heck we go from here. Guided by questions posed by Executive Producer Robert Reich, participants sit down in a series of conversations with one another to explore the country they’re living in now and the one they still believe is possible."
