Cinema Café at the Calvert Library Prince Frederick will be presenting an uplifting film based on a true story as part of the One Maryland One Book project. The whole state is being encouraged to read the book Outcasts United which is a book which has the central theme of soccer being used to unite a diverse community. The film is about how Nelson Mandela, in his first term as the South African President, initiates a unique venture to unite the apartheid-torn land; enlist the national rugby team on a mission to win the 1995 Rugby World Cup. The Oscar nominated film stars Morgan Freeman and Matt Damon and is directed by Clint Eastwood. The film and discussion are scheduled for Wednesday, October 6, 2010, from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. The Calvert Library is pleased to present this film in its Blu-ray format thanks to a grant from the Maryland Humanities Council to provide a PlayStation3 and a copy of the film. Light refreshments and coffee will be served. For more information call Robyn Truslow at (410) 535-0291 or (301) 855-1862.
