This film is directed by Jenny McKenzie, who also directed “Kick Like a Girl” and the Emmy award-winning “Quiet Heroes.”
The film screening is free and open to the public. This film is not rated. Runtime is 70 minutes. A discussion about the national trend of low reading proficiency will follow the screening. For more information, please call the library at 563-589-4225 or visit us on Facebook.
