Movie and Discussion at The Hipp

See The Black Balloon and join a discussion with Dr. Greg Valcante following the show.

"It’s not easy being Thomas. He’s turning sixteen; and moving into a new house, and school. His older brother Charlie announces their arrival to the neighbors by banging a wooden spoon and wailing on the front lawn. Charlie doesn’t speak. He’s autistic and has ADD. He’s also unpredictable, sometimes unmanageable, and often disgusting. Thomas hates his brother but wishes he didn’t."

Sunday, March 15, 2009 at the Hippodrome State Theatre in Gainesville. Show is at 4:30 with discussion to follow.

The Black Balloon will also be playing (no discussion) Friday, March 13, 2009 at 6:30 pm.
