Community Movie Night

43 Main Street,Springfield VT 05156

Description

A rated PG movie will be shown at the Springfield Town Library, in collaboration with the Springfield Family Center. An unusually bitter Arctic blast has made its way to downtown Cincinnati and the front doors of the public library where the action of the film takes place. At odds with library officials over how to handle the extreme weather event, some homeless patrons turn the building into a shelter for the night by staging an "Occupy" sit-in. What begins as an act of civil disobedience becomes a stand-off with police and a rush-to-judgment media constantly speculating about what's really happening. This David versus Goliath story tackles some of our nation's most challenging issues, homelessness, and mental illness, and sets the drama inside one of the last bastions of democracy-in-action: your public library. This event is free and open to residents of the Springfield area call the Library at (802) 885-3108 if you have any questions.
