Film “Still Walking” showing tonight
The Arts and Humanities department invites you to view and discuss the film “Still Walking” this evening at 6 p.m. in the Trutter Center. “Still Walking” (2009) tells of 12 years after their beloved eldest son, Junpei, drowned while saving a stranger’s life, the parents welcome their surviving children home for a family reunion. The younger son still feels that his parents resent that he isn’t the one who died, as his wife is awkwardly introduced to the rest of the family for the first time.
The event is part of LLCC’s fall film and discussion series entitled “Through a Different Lens” and is hosted by Ashley Green, Ph.D., assistant professor of English; Paul Van Heuklom, professor of English; and Joseph Hoff, Ph.D., professor of Spanish. There is no charge to attend.
Also, mark your calendar for the final film in the series “Birth of a Family” on Dec. 8.
