Take a break from grading or studying and join MCC’s Celtic Society today (10 December) at 6 p.m. in 12-125 for a F-R-E-E screening and discussion of EVELYN.
“From the director of DRIVING MISS DAISY comes this compelling, heartwarming and inspiring true story of a father (Pierce Brosnan) who faces impossible odds to keep his family together. Times are tough in Dublin, Ireland. But no one has it tougher than Desmond Doyle when his wife runs off and his beloved daughter Evelyn and two young sons are sent to an orphanage by the government. Enlisting the help of loyal friends (Julianna Margulies, Stephen Rea) and a feisty American lawyer (Aidan Quinn), he takes his case to Ireland's Supreme Court in a history-making quest to topple an ironclad law and win back the custody of his children” (Amazon.com).
Celtic movie nights continue in the spring semester on select Tuesday nights in 12-129. Each screening and discussion is free and open to the community.
