Mark your Calendar: See "Where to Invade Next" as it was meant to be seen (In community)

Tuesday, 20 December, 7 p.m.
At the beautifully restored, comfortable -- almost luxurious -- Grand Theatre
191 High St NE, at the corner of Court and High St. 

Probably Moore's best film because it is focused on solutions, often those first conceived in the United States, only to be ignored here and implemented elsewhere.

After-film speakers include Laurie Trieger of "Family Forward Oregon" and some dude who is pretty much a windbag from what I hear.

America’s favorite political provocateur, Michael Moore, is back with his new film, WHERE TO INVADE NEXT. 

Honored by festivals and critics groups alike, WHERE TO INVADE NEXT is an expansive, hilarious, and subversive comedy in which the Academy Award®-winning director confronts the most pressing issues facing America today and finds solutions in the most unlikely places. 

The creator of FAHRENHEIT 9/11 and BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE has returned with an epic movie that’s unlike anything he has done before—an eye-opening call to arms to capture the American Dream and restore it in, of all places, America.
