The next Liberty Brew & View movie is The Visitor, Tuesday, January 13, at 7:00pm. Doors open at 6:30 at Capital City Bar & Grill. I'm excited about having an excellent movie and speaker for January.
The Visitor is a character driven drama that examines the issue of immigration policy through the story of an economics professor and a young immigrant couple. I saw it in Chicago earlier this year and I've been wanting to show it for LBV because it's the kind of movie that looks at a current issue while still being entertaining. You can find out more at the movie website. Here's the trailer:
This month's showing is sponsored by the Central Illinois ACLU and IMAGE Inc. They've arranged for a special guest speaker. Shelly Heideman, a Community Organizer with Beardstown/Rushville Immigrant Families United, will speak about immigration policy after the film.
I'm showing it a week earlier than normal this month because January 20th is Obama's inauguration. If you want to get emails about LBV movies you can sign up here or just send me your email address.
