International Night at the Movies, 7 pm, Wednesday Nov 11th, Gluck Theater
Movie: “Arranged”
Synopsis: Rachel is an Orthodox Jew, and Nasira is a Muslim of Syrian origin. They are both young teachers at a public school in Brooklyn. They also have something else in common – they are going through the process of getting “arranged marriages” through their respective religious and traditional customs. With both family pressure on the one hand, and the rejection of traditional values by the outside world on the other, Rachel and Nasira will have to rely on each other and their friendship to pull through this difficult time of their lives, striving to be strong women in charge of their own happiness, while keeping their deep religious and cultural convictions.

Following the movie there will be a brief discussion about some issues about the culture, history and religions.

This is a FREE event, and drinks, cookies, and snacks will be provided.
