Movie Discussion with Paul Doherty on Zoom

10:00 am - 11:00 am

Friday, May 27th at 10:00 am. Watch Mona Lisa Smile anytime before May 27th at 10am on our free Hoopla streaming service or place a hold on a DVD. Academy Award® winner Julia Roberts heads an all-star cast featuring Kirsten Dunst, Julia Stiles, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Marcia Gay Harden in Mona Lisa Smile, an uplifting and poignant drama about one woman’s desire to enrich the lives of her students. In 1953, a time when women’s roles were rigidly defined, novice art history professor Katherine Watson (Roberts) begins teaching at the prestigious all-female Wellesley College, which despite its academic reputation is an environment where success is measured by how well the students marry. Encouraging these women to strive for a more enlightened future, Watson challenges the administration and inspires her students to look beyond the image of what is, and consider the possibilities of what could be.
