Tonight's movie is "Being there" by Hal Ashby, made in 1979.

Life is a state of mind. The wisdom of a sheltered gardener thrust into the world.

After the death of his employer forces him out of the only home he's ever known, a simpleminded, sheltered gardener becomes an unlikely trusted advisor to a powerful tycoon and an insider in Washington politics. Starring Peter Sellers and Shirley MacLaine.

We'll start with a short sit, watch the film, then have a short discussion to close.

BYO snacks and bean bag.

A fun and relaxed way to hang out together over the summer. All welcome. No need to book.
