My View of Life on the Dock
_poster.jpg)
This was rescheduled from last week due to the rain. Don’t miss the final movie of the series – Bring the Whole Family!
Why should you care about Monsanto, a massive multi-national corporation in the seed business? Because, whether you know it or not, Monsanto plays a big role in your life. To find out what this means check out the free and fascinating double feature at the Rockport Library this Sunday, March 27th. The movie about Monsanto will be followed by Fresh — an inspired and upbeat depiction of people from the inner city to the farm fields taking on the task of growing and raising their own food — just like we’ve always done, with the exception of the last few decades when we started to allow Supermarkets and food manufacturers to supply all of our nutritional needs, like helpless baby birds (with one nasty mama bird dumping twinkies and high fructose corn syrup down our throats. Yum!).
The World According to Monsanto begins at 1:30 p.m. and Fresh begins at 3:30 p.m. Both films are free and open to the public. This event is sponsored by Cape Ann’s Growing Green Group and The Common Crow. For more information contact Nina at 978-546-7785.
Hi Joey,
We wanted to let you know about a community event coming up this Saturday. It’s a free screening of the 1988 Christmas movie I’ll be Home For Christmas.Film: I’ll be Home for Christmas
Saturday, December 18, 7:30PM
I’ll be Home for Christmas, set and filmed in Rockport, chronicles the experiences of a small town in December 1944. Two parents await the return of their sons in the army, and their riveter daughter, for Christmas. It has, says Hal Erickson, “The texture of a Normal Rockwell painting and the ambiance of William Saroyan’s Human Comedy.” Happy holidays from Rockport Music – Come celebrate the season with us at this free community screening!
Starring Hal Holbrook, Eva Marie Saint, Peter Gallagher and Courtney Cox. 100 minutes.
Free and open to the public. No tickets required and no advanced reservations.
Admission and seating are on a first-come, first-served basis. Doors open at 7PM after the pageant!
Jason Stigliano, Rockport Music
