Event Details

In honor of Banned Books Week join us for a special screening of Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory which is based off of the novel Charlie and The Chocolate Factory  by Roald Dahl. Dahl's novel was banned due to the original description of the oompa loompas being seen as racist. Because of this, Roald Dahl changed the description of the oompa loompas in a later edition of his novel.   

Film Synopsis: A sweet boy from a poor family dreams of finding one of five golden tickets hidden inside chocolate bar wrappers which will admit him to the eccentric and reclusive Willy Wonka's magical factory. One after another, tickets are discovered by ghastly children - but will the lad find the last remaining one and have all his dreams come true?
