Date Change: Screening Of “The Take” Film

May 11, 2012

On Tuesday 22nd May CURB will be screening The Take, a full-length feature film, dealing with the controversial topics of crime, forgiveness, and punishment. The screening date has been changed from what was previously reported.

A synopsis of the film said: “It offers a riveting view of the human side of crime. We meet Ana, the mother of a child killed during an armed robbery, and Saul, the gambling addict who committed that crime. In the course of the movie we come to see that a criminal act is much more than “breaking the law.” It is also a destructive act that wounds victims, communities, and even perpetrators.

“In the movie’s climactic scene, Ana asks to meet with Saul. The prison authorities are reluctant to give permission, but eventually relent. It is during the meeting that both find release from the burdens of the past.”

The screening will take place in the Chewstick Lounge [corner Elliott & Court Streets] on May 22nd. Doors open at 6:30pm, and the film screening is at 7pm. The screening will be followed by a discussion. Admission is free, but donations are welcomed.
