Thursday, May 14th - Library Box Office |
The Friends of the Jacob Edwards Library present Noise which will begin at 6:00 p.m. in the Pioppi Room, lower level. Candy will be available for purchase.
Synopsis: "Don Plutarco, his son Genaro and his grandson Lucio live a double life: on one hand they are musicians and humble farmers, on the other they support the campesina peasant guerilla movement's armed efforts against the oppressive government. When the military seizes the village, the rebels flee to the sierra hills, forced to leave behind their stock of ammunition. While the guerillas organize a counter-attack, old Plutarco executes his own plan. He plays up his appearance as a harmless violin player, in order to get into the village and recover the ammunition hidden his corn field. His violin playing charms the army captain, who orders Plutarco to come back daily. Arms and music play a tenuous game of cat-and-mouse which ultimately results in painful betrayal."
Each month the Friends of the Jacob Edwards Library present and independent or foreign movie as part of the Library Box Office Series. All movies are available in DVD format for borrowing after the screening. The Pioppi Room is equipped with surround-sound and a large screen projector to enhance your viewing experience. |

Monday, May 18th - Film Screening |
The Friends of the Jacob Edwards Library present The Price of Sugar which will begin at 6:00 p.m. in the Pioppi Room, lower level. Candy will be available for purchase.
Synopsis: "In the Dominican Republic, a tropical island-nation, tourists flock to pristine beaches unaware that a few miles away thousands of dispossessed Haitians have toiled under armed-guard on plantations harvesting sugarcane, much of which ends up in U.S. kitchens. They work grueling hours and frequently lack decent housing, clean water, electricity, education or healthcare. Narrated by Paul Newman, "The Price of Sugar" follows Father Christopher Hartley, a charismatic Spanish priest, as he organizes some of this hemisphere's poorest people to fight for their basic human rights. This film raises key questions about where the products we consume originate and at what human cost they are produced." |
