TBC Men's Club and TBC Sisterhood Present
Deli and "BlacKKKlansman" Movie Night
Saturday, March 2 from
6:30 to 9:30 pm
Come join us for an adult (post b'nai mitzvah age) enjoyable evening of food, film and conversation!
W
e will share an old-fashioned deli meal, and then view Spike Lee's highly-acclaimed 2018 film "BlacKKKlansman". The film is based on the true story of Ron Stallworth, a Colorado Springs detective who went undercover to expose the KKK in the 1970's. With his Jewish front man Flip Zimmerman, the dynamic duo "playfully deconstructs this country's race problem from multiple angles, with a sense of humor and incisiveness." (
Film Journal International
)
"
BlacKKKlansman
is wildly entertaining and wisely prescient." (
Washington Post
).
Dinner will be served at 6:30 pm. Dessert and lively discussion will follow after the film.
Contribution of $18 per person to cover the cost of dinner, drinks and dessert.
Please RSVP by February 28. Contact Ria Miller.
