The 'DEMOCRACY AT RISK' Film Festival continues tonight @ 6pm with a screening of 'Z'.

A political thriller with a powerful message, Z is an absolute must-watch for every serious voter and engaged citizen.

Winner of the Academy Award for Best International Film, Z is loosely based on the 1963 assassination of Greek activist Gregoris Lambrakis. Pulsing with energy and outrage from start to finish, Roger Ebert had this to say about Z: "It is film of our time. It is about how even moral victories are corrupted. It will make you weep and will make you angry. It will tear your guts out.”

We hope you'll join us at the Gene Siskel Film Center for a cinematic experience you won't soon forget!
