Film at 1pm
Discussion at 3pm

Following a screening of John Hillcoat’s The Road, the 2009 film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize winning novel, Becket Athenaeum Director Nicole Schulze will lead a discussion that compares the film to the Becket Athenaeum Big Read title – The Bear by Andrew Krivak. Having knowledge of The Bear for this program is great, but not required. Copies of The Bear are available for checkout at the Becket Athenaeum and digitally through Libby.
Refreshments, including popcorn, wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages will be served. Come early to get settled.

This program is made possible by a grant from National Endowment for the Arts in partnership with Arts Midwest.
