Humanist Film Series: "Sneakers"

Remember back when it was entertaining to scare ourselves at the concept of the 'surveillance state'? Come to the next Humanist Film Series event when we'll screen 'Sneakers' (PG-13, 1992) for a reminder. It's a quirky heist film starring Robert Redford, Dan Aykroyd, Mary McDonnell and Sidney Poitier -- a team of misfits and outcasts -- who are coerced into stealing something that shouldn't exist. The life-threatening moral quandary they grapple with has, unfortunately, become more commonplace in the modern world than any of us would like. Afterwards we can discuss issues from our daily lives that relate and methods for dealing with them.

The film starts at 7:00 PM but you are invited to come mingle and socialize starting at 6:30 PM. Some beverages and snacks will be provided but feel free to bring your own -- and/or something to share.
