"Imperial Dreams"

new feature film - received the
Sundance Festival Audience Award

A young father and reformed gangster returns home from jail eager to care for his son, Daytona, and become a writer.  Crime, poverty and a flawed system threaten his plans, in this fictional, but realistic drama film. Released in 2017, this film was rated 91% on Rotten Tomatoes. Some African American young men in Amherst recommended it to us for the Coming Together series.  Please join us!
We will have a brief discussion of the film following the showing.
