The Penguin Lessons (2024)
Running time: 110 minutes

Director: Peter Cattaneo

Starring: Steve Coogan, Jonathan Pryce, and Vivian El Jaber

Inspired by the true story of a disillusioned Englishman who went to work in an all-boys boarding school in Argentina in 1976. Expecting an easy ride, Tom discovers a divided nation and a class of unteachable students. However, after he rescues a penguin from an oil-slicked beach, his life is turned upside-down.

Join us in Auditorium on the second floor. There is an elevator available. Admission is free. Informal discussion after the film, time permitting.
