2_LIFESTYLE_2_EVENTS_MOVIE"The Uncondemned" (Film screening)

Tuesday, January 23, 2018 2:00pm - 3:30pm 

About the film: "The Uncondemned" tells the gripping and world-changing story of a group of young international lawyers and activists who fought to make rape a crime of war, and the Rwandan women who came forward to testify and win justice where there had been none. Up until this point, rape had not been prosecuted as a war crime and was committed with impunity. A courtroom thriller and personal human drama, "The Uncondemned" beautifully interweaves the stories of the characters in this odyssey, leading to the trial at an international criminal court--and the results that changed the world of criminal justice forever.

Bad Dates - Jan. 26 – Feb. 25, 2018

"Irresistibly charming and bubbling over with good cheer, Bad Dates nevertheless manages to say a touching thing or two about the meaning of life.”— The Boston Globe

“Theresa Rebeck’s succulent and biting comedy will have Boston audiences in stitches as we recall the details of our dating disasters. This explosively wild and smart comedy is the perfect night out on the town for women of all generations and the ideal remedy to combat any kind of winter blues!”— Huntington Artistic Director Peter DuBois
