12p Sat. 7-12: discussion of 2013 film IDA (along with novella HOME) @ our CC's

Join us Saturday, July 12, noon to 1:45p at CC's Coffee on Esplanade Ave. (between North Broad and City Park). We will be in their community room -- to the right, before the bathrooms, as you walk in. Come and leave anytime.
NOTE: Saturday July 5, ten of us discussed the Toni Morrison novella "HOME". There are striking similarities with the film "IDA". This meetup now is about discussing the film; however, we'll spend some of our time bringing up parallels with the Toni Morrison novella. Therefore it is recommended that you have read the story but not required. (See detail at the bottom of this page.)
