Far Out Film Discussion functions like a book club - watch the film on your own and gather at the library on the first and third Wednesdays to discuss.

We will meet in the Community room on Wednesday October 16th at 6:30 to talk about the 1998 horror film Ringu directed by Japanese filmmaker Hideo Nakata.

This film can be streamed on Kanopy using your Boston Public Library Ecard or your Forbes Library card.

We will also have DVD copies available in the Arts and Music department a week before the meeting.

The movie, Fix It - Healthcare at the Tipping Point, takes an in-depth look into how our dysfunctional health care system is damaging our economy, suffocating our businesses, discouraging physicians and negatively impacting on the nation's health, while remaining un-affordable for a third of our citizens. The film has more than forty voices advocating for reform, including: activists, health policy experts, economists, physicians, nurses, patients, business and labor leaders. The film is an hour long and will be followed by a discussion led by Jon Weisman, Chairperson of Mass-Care.
