This is a quiet film; nonetheless, I recommend turning it up, especially if you have a sound system.

A word about Kanopy: This is a service that coordinates with public libraries in the US to make free programming available to library patrons. Get your library card (you'll need it) and check it out.

ALSO: We still need to pick a book for the following month's discussion. AlannaRobbiani suggested The Exiles, by Christina Baker Kline. Anyone else have any ideas?
