Tuesday December 17th

The Beautiful Game

Registration Opens November 6th! 

Description of Activity:  Join us for a zoom dinner/movie/discussion night on Tuesday December 17^th 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.

Theme: 

The Beautiful Game is a film about second chances – where homeless teams from around the world find that all roads lead to Rome, and everything’s to play for. Based on a true story. You’ll never watch soccer in quite the same way again!

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.

Synopsis:

Mal (Bill Nighy – Living, About Time) is the manager of England’s homeless football team, taking his players to Rome with the hope of being crowned champions of the Homeless World Cup – a global street soccer tournament. At the last minute, he decides to bring with them a talented striker, Vinny (Micheal Ward – Empire of Light, The Book of Clarence) who could give them a real chance of winning, but only if he’s ready to let go of his past and become a part of the team. Made with the support of the Homeless World Cup, The Beautiful Game is a film about second chances – where homeless teams from around the world find that all roads lead to Rome, and everything’s to play for.
