Join us for a discussion of October Sky (PG). Watch the film in advance, whenever or however works best for you, and then log into an interactive Zoom presentation where we'll talk about what's true, what's not, and make connections to our collections. 

About the film: October Sky is a biographical drama film that tells the true story of Homer Hickman Jr. (Jake Gyllenhaal), a high school student in the small, strict coal mining town of Coalwood, West Virginia. His father (Chris Cooper) is the mine superintendent, and Homer predicts he will join him in the mines after graduation. However, after watching the Soviet Union’s Sputnik fly over his hometown in 1957, Homer became inspired to take up rocket science. With the help of their teacher (Laura Dern), Homer and his friends face many challenges while (literally) shooting for the stars. 

This progam is free, but registration is required.
