Free Movie Night: "The Harvest / La Cosecha"

Free Movie Night! Friday, January 24, 7 p.m.: "The Harvest / La Cosecha"

Please join us for our
monthly FREE movie night on January 24 at 7 p.m. We will be screening "The Harvest / La Cosecha: The story of the children who feed America".


From the film's website: "Every year there are more than 400,000 American children who are torn
away from their friends, schools and homes to pick the food we all eat.
Zulema, Perla and Victor labor
as migrant farm workers, sacrificing their own childhoods to help their
families survive. THE HARVEST/LA COSECHA profiles these three as they
journey from the scorching heat of
Texas' onion fields to the winter snows of the Michigan apple orchards
and back south to the humidity of Florida's tomato fields to follow the
harvest.

From the Producers of the Academy-Award® nominated film, WAR/DANCE and
Executive Producer Eva Longoria, this award-winning documentary provides
an intimate glimpse into the lives of
these children who struggle to dream while working 12 – 14 hours a day, 7
days a week to feed America."

Come and enjoy our big screen and free popcorn. Feel free to bring a portable chair (e.g., a beach chair or lawn chair) for
more comfort, or sit in one of our folding chairs.  The film is about
80 minutes long; those who wish may stay afterwards for a brief
discussion.




Please join us! Movie Night is free and open to the public.
