Denzel Washington's' directorial debut-an adaptation of August Wilson's Pulitzer Prize-winning play: FENCES. A Black father tries to raise his family in the 1950s-while coming to terms with his life.

Join us to celebrate Black history month with a free screening of the film: FENCES

*Popcorn will be served*


Troy Maxson (Denzel Washington) makes his living as a sanitation worker in 1950s Pittsburgh. Maxson once dreamed of becoming a professional baseball player, but was deemed too old when the major leagues began admitting black athletes. Bitter over his missed opportunity, Troy creates further tension in his family when he squashes his son's (Jovan Adepo) chance to meet a college football recruiter.

Fences tackles a lot of topics, from racism to masculinity to moral duty to family. At its core, though, Fences is about how environments shape us, but that we must live with our choices despite these outside forces.
