BYOD and a Movie: Goodbye Christopher Robin
Thursday, February 22nd at 6:00


Winnie the Pooh, Christopher Robin and all of the other characters in the books and films are some of America's and the world's favorite characters. While most people know a lot about Winnie the Pooh, far fewer know much about their author and creator, A. A. Milne. His somewhat troubled and challenging past comes to light in the true to life biography. It quickly becomes clear that A. A. Milne had an unusual life and upbringing, causing him to write the different characters as a way of developing parts of his personality that he did not feel comfortable showing others. (Rated PG / 107 Minutes)

Join the Campaign for Paid Family Leave for a sneak peek screening and discussion of ZERO WEEKS, the first documentary to explore and make the case for paid family and medical leave for every American worker. ZERO WEEKS weaves together the powerful stories of workers forced to choose between their job and beating cancer, welcoming a baby, and caring for an ill parent. After the film, we will engage in an interactive discussion that digs deeper into the movement for paid family and medical leave here in Connecticut and how you can make your voice heard.
