ABOUT THE FILMS:
MALCOLM X
Saturday, August 9 at 12pm
Often misunderstood, Malcolm X was one of the leading forces of the United States' Civil Rights Movement. He inspired many—and frightened many—but is destined to be remembered as one of the greatest men of his era. This riveting biography directed by Spike Lee and starring Denzel Washington in an Academy Award-nominated performance reveals the man at the center of a storm of change.
MO’ BETTER BLUES
Sunday, August 10 at 7pm
Talented trumpeter Bleek Gilliam (Denzel Washington) is obsessed by his music and indecisiveness about his girlfriends, Indigo and Clarke. But when he is forced to come to the aid of his manager and childhood friend, Bleek finds his world more fragile than he ever imagined.
INSIDE MAN
Thursday, August 14 at 7pm
The perfect bank robbery quickly spirals into an unstable and deadly game of cat-and-mouse between a criminal mastermind, a determined detective, and a power broker with a hidden agenda. As the minutes tick by and the situation becomes increasingly tense, one wrong move could mean disaster for any one of them.
