Annapolis Library Fall Film Series: People Like Us--A Look at Class in the U.S.

Sometimes called the 800-pound gorilla we don’t talk about, this series will explore the issue of social class: how we understand it, how it shapes our life choices, and how it influences our understanding of each other. Beginning with a documentary which gives a broad overview, the three subsequent films examine social class issues. Each film is introduced by area cinephile Ann Glenn with info about the film’s background, production and followed by a lively Q&A session.
