IT’S MOVIE FESTIVAL NIGHT AT THE CRTA!

IT’S MOVIE FESTIVAL NIGHT AT THE CRTA!

Last Film of our 2024-2025 Season

Tuesday April 22nd

The Long Game

Registration Closes Monday April 21st

Description of Activity:  Join us for a zoom dinner/movie/discussion night on Tuesday April 22nd at 6 PM.

Our films are chosen for interesting themes that lend themselves to discussion by viewers.  Most selected have been award winners at film festivals.

Even if you have seen the film, joining our discussion after the showing will enhance your viewing and understanding of the movie.

The Long Game:

Based on the critically acclaimed self-published book by Author Humberto G. Garcia. In 1955, five young Mexican-American caddies, out of the love for the game, were determined to learn how to play, so they created their own golf course in the middle of the South Texas desert. Despite having outdated and inferior equipment, and no professional instruction to begin with, they would go on to compete against wealthy all-white teams and win the 1957 Texas State High School Golf Championship. The film is “A Field of Dreams” set in the world of Golf. Their inspiring triumph overcame prejudice and broke barriers for many Latino PGA Golfers to follow.

In light of what is going on south of the border, this film will prove very relevant and timely indeed!  Look forward to our discussion following.

What better way to come together (virtually) than with friends, former colleagues, and family to have a bite and watch a stimulating movie.  Our members love the discussion at the end of the film to share reactions and ideas about the film.  If you watch the film at another time, you can still join us for the discussion!

You are encouraged to mark your calendar, so you don’t miss it! As soon as you are registered, I will send out the logon info to you with further instructions.
