International Movie Night Series
Let’s watch a movie together! A movie that tells a story that you have never heard…
We will watch four international movies from four different countries during the Fall term. The second movie is “A Taxi Driver”.
In this powerful true story set in 1980, a down-on-his-luck taxi driver from Seoul is hired by a foreign journalist who wants to go to the town of Gwangju for the day. They arrive to find a city under siege by the military government, with the citizens, led by a determined group of college students, rising up to demand freedom. What began as an easy fare becomes a life-or-death struggle in the midst of the Gwangju Uprising, a critical event in modern South Korea. -Rotten Tomatoes

Dinner will be provided.
