About this Event

🌟 Modest Heroes & Thinking Purple: A Double-Feature Movie Night 🎬
Ready for an evening of great stories and even better company? Come enjoy a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere designed for a unique cinematic experience. This special event features a compelling double-feature screening followed by an exclusive look behind the scenes. This event happens in a private theater at one of our members community.
🎥 The Program
Thinking Purple -
An insightful documentary that explores the power of perspective and the human ability to bridge divides through empathy and creative dialogue.
⚠️ Trigger Warning: The documentary Thinking Purple covers topics of domestic violence. We understand this may be a difficult topic for some viewers and want to disclose this so you can prioritize your well-being.

Modest Heroes -
A visually stunning collection of three animated short films from the masterminds at Studio Ponoc (composed of former Studio Ghibli staff). These shorts celebrate the quiet bravery found in everyday life—from tiny underwater siblings on a big adventure to a boy navigating a hidden struggle.
