Royal Oak Public Library Film Club

This is a meeting of the Royal Oak Public Library Film Club. We meet each month to discuss a movie on Kanopy that we have watched on our own before the discussion. There are not that many venues anymore that show independent films, and even less opportunity to discuss films. But there are so many good movies out there that demand our active engagement. This club is a chance to really take film seriously, to watch it passionately and critically, and discuss it with fellow film enthusiasts.

Our movie for January is Mr. Nobody Against Putin.

Synopsis:

MR. NOBODY AGAINST PUTIN is a riveting first-person expose of Russia's wartime student indoctrination program told through the eyes and lens of a small-town primary school teacher who dared to challenge the program and expose the truth. Winner of the Sundance World Cinema Documentary Special Jury Award.

Mr. Nobody Against Putin can be streamed here.
