Program Description

Event Details

For the month of November, we are showing movies set in the Midwestern states of the USA.  These three films depict the people, the boredom, and the humor residents know all too well.

On this night, we are watching Lasse Hallstrom's 1993 film "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" starring Johnny Depp, Juliette Lewis, and Leonardo DiCaprio.  It is rated PG-13.

A young man in a small Midwestern town struggles to care for his mentally-disabled younger brother and morbidly obese mother while attempting to pursue his own happiness.
