Introducing our new “Real-to-Reel Documentary Film Club”! This new film discussion club will meet quarterly to discuss entertaining and thought-provoking documentaries on a variety of subjects. The films will be announced beforehand to give you time to watch the film at your convenience, and will be available FREE to Morristown & Morris Township cardholders through the Library’s subscription to Kanopy, a movie streaming platform (https://mmt.kanopy.com/).

Our first “Real-to-Reel” meeting will be Wednesday, July 28 at 7 PM ,and continuing our Pride Month theme, we will be discussing “The Circle.” This 2014 docu-drama from Switzerland tells the story of Ernst Ostertag and Röbi Rapp, two members of a social network of gay men in Zurich during the 1950’s known as “Der Kreis” (the Circle). The film intersperses current interviews with the two men with dramatizations of events from the ’50’s and ’60’s.
