This elegiac film captures the frustrations and false starts of poverty, as well as moments of simple joy and transcendence, while following a family struggling to stay afloat and maintain their closeness in the downtrodden Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles. In conjunction with the 7:15 p.m. screening, instructor Andrew Owen, Ph.D., will lead a Cinema Classics Seminar at 6:30 p.m. Purchase tickets to the film or film-and-seminar online or at the door.
