Event Details

Join Friends and neighbors as we discuss "The Public" with Alec Baldwin.  Discussion to follow the viewing, probably around noon. Originally released as a movie in 2019.

When a brutal blast of cold hits Cincinnati, the public library transforms from a safe haven for the homeless into a potential war zone. Those who have no place of retreat to evade the cold stage a sit-in in the library where they are tended by members of the library's staff. Soon the police arrive and a stand-off threatens to bring tragedy to the homeless individuals and those who care about their well-being. An eye-opening exploration of the basic values of humanity plays out as the cold rages outside.
