Program Description

Event Details

In honor of Banned Books Week join us for a special screening of Alice in Wonderland which is based off of the novel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland  by Lewis Carroll. Carroll's novel was banned in some countries due to the depiction of talking animals. Animals given human attributes such as the ability to speak was seen as disastrous to children and disrespectful to humans. 

Film Synopsis: Alice is a daydreaming young girl. She finds learning poems and listening to literature boring. She prefers stories with pictures and to live inside her imagination. One day, while enduring just such a poetry reading, she spots a large white rabbit...dressed in a jacket and carrying a large watch. He scurries off, saying he's late, for a very important date. She follows him through the forest. He then disappears down a rabbit hole. Alice follows, leading her to all manner of discoveries, characters and adventures.
