Join us on Friday September 4th at 2.30pm for a rare screening of a classic 1979 political satire starring Peter Sellers as Chance, an illiterate gardener who has lived his entire life in total isolation inside a Washington, D.C. townhouse. When his wealthy employer dies, Chance is forced onto the streets with no money, no identity, and nowhere to go. His only knowledge of the outside world comes from watching television, and he meets some of the Capitol Hill’s power players they mistake his simple observances of the world around him to be profound philosophical strategy, meaning that the elite assume this simple man to be a master tactician and political strategist. The film serves as a sharp critique of American high society, politics, and media culture. Join us for tea and coffee before the feature presentation!
