Great Movies: Legacy and Sacrifice

What can one individual do in the face of tyranny? More than we imagine.

History itself is shaped by individuals whose courage, compassion, and moral conviction changed lives, nations, and the world. Join us to hear background information about “Spartacus” and “Gandhi,” and the revolts these men led against tyranny. We will then watch the movie, break for light refreshments, and discuss it afterwards.

Lynda Tisdell, a former high school English teacher, saw Peter Pan at the age of six and has never forgotten it. Passionate about movies, she has studied them, endlessly discussed them, and dreamed about them. She has previously taught many movie courses, recently “Great Movies: Comedy Classics,” “Great Movies: Standing for Principles,” “Broadway and Hollywood: Backstage Stories,” as well as many others.
