Movies @ the Library The Fault in Our Stars Saturday October 18 2:00pm to 4:00pm Enjoy free movies at the Brooks Public Library! The Fault in Our Stars (PG): Hazel and Gus are two extraordinary teenagers who share an acerbic wit, a disdain for the conventional, and a love that sweeps them - and us - on an unforgettable journey. Their relationship is all the more miraculous, given that they met and fell in love at a cancer support group.
Out of Mind, Out of Sight Tuesday October 28 6:30pm to 8:00pm Check out cool documentaries at the Brooks Public Library! Out of Mind, Out of Sight: What happens to people who suffer from mental illnesses and commit violent crimes? Some are sent to forensic psychiatric hospitals - once called asylums for the criminally insane - where they disappear from public view for years. Emmy award-winning ď€ lmmaker John Kastner gained unprecedented access to one such facility, the Brockville Mental Health Centre. He follows the treatment of patients struggling to gain control over their lives, so they can return to a society that often fears and demonizes them. Presented by the National Film Board of Canada
