Edgewater Village Chicago is holding a series of gatherings to chat about movies. Participants will view each film on their own and then join a group discussion via Zoom.  Movies are selected through discussion and a decision of Chat participants. Join the Movie Chat and bring your recommendations! This week’s movies are Zorba the Greek and Hunt for the Wilderpeople.

ZORBA THE GREEK (1964) An uptight English writer travelling to Crete, on a matter of business, finds his life changed forever when he meets the gregarious and exuberant Alexis Zorba.

HUNT FOR THE WILDERPEOPLE (2016) A national manhunt is ordered for a rebellious kid and his foster uncle who go missing in the wild New Zealand bush.

Copies of these movies are available on DVD at the Edgewater Branch library for checkout with your library card or you can watch them online through a streaming service of your choice.

Registration is required. You will receive an email with the link to join the online Zoom discussion group.

This program is offered in partnership with the Edgewater Branch Library.
