Friday Films: Fences

Join us on February 21 for a screening of Fences, a film inspired by August Wilson's play of the same name. A working-class African-American father tries to raise his family in the 1950s, while coming to terms with the events of his life. Run time: 2 hr 19 minutes; Rated PG-13; Closed captioning available. "'Fences' is a film about how our environment shapes us, and how, no matter how noble their intentions, our parents can’t help but mess us up in some fashion, just as their parents had done for them. This is our legacy as humans." - Odie Henderson, Roger Ebert More Info below.
