Event Details
Join Elizabeth Davis, Scranton Public Library, and Renee Roberts, Abington Community Library and Mother Barnes, St. Luke’s Episcopal Church, as they explore newsworthy topics via articles, essays and films.
We will be meeting to discuss the film, The Farewell (2019).
Summary:
“Chinese-born, U.S.-raised Billi reluctantly returns to Changchun to find that, although the whole family knows their beloved matriarch, Nai-Nai, has been given mere weeks to live, everyone has decided not to tell Nai Nai herself. To assure her happiness, they gather under the joyful guise of an expedited wedding, uniting family members scattered among new homes abroad. As Billi navigates a minefield of family expectations and proprieties, she finds there’s a lot to celebrate.”
The film is available via the library’s streaming video service Kanopy: lcls.kanopy.org or to borrow from the library on Blu-ray and DVD. Click here to place a hold.
