The UHP is teaming up with MVC to launch a classic film series! The first film is “In the Heat of the Night” and will be playing this Sunday, January 18th, at 2:00 in the Eckles library auditorium. This film, starring Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger, was released in 1967 and remains as powerful as ever.
Below is a short film description:
“On the surface, this movie is a conventional murder mystery set in a small southern town, but after four decades the film still packs a punch, capturing the decline of an old white justice system though characters who reveal less about race than how people are in general.”
Please join us for a screening of this wonderful and important film. Snacks will be served!
