Movies That Matter:
Don't Look Up
A pair of astronomers embark on a media tour to warn humanity about an approaching comet that will destroy human civilization. The problem is that no one really seems to care. The impact event is an allegory for climate change, and the film is a satire of government, politics, celebrity, and media indifference to the climate crisis.
Admission is free, but reservations are required. Please RSVP to Marsha. All guests must be vaccinated.
