LIONS FOR LAMBS is a powerful story about how the decision makers at the top affect American soldiers on the ground half a world away.
Tuesday, January 20 Dr. Rob Breckinridge









THE CONSTANT GARDENER is the kind of thriller that hasn't been seen since the 1970s: Smart, politically complex, cinematically adventurous, genuinely thrilling and even heartbreaking.
Tuesday, February 17 Dr. Virginia Gonsman






ERIN BROCKOVICH re-tells a true story which focuses on suspicious connections between a mighty power company, its abuse of toxic chromium, and the poisoned water supply of Hinkley, California, where locals have suffered a legacy of death and disease.
Tuesday, March 17 Dr. Merrilee Anderson






BLACK HAWK DOWN conveys the raw, chaotic urgency of ground-force battle in a worst-case scenario. With exacting detail, the film re-creates the American siege of the Somalian city of Mogadishu in October 1993, when a 45-minute mission turned into a 16-hour ordeal of bloody urban warfare, ending in the loss of 18 American soldiers.
