Join us for Charlie Chaplin’s classic film, The Great Dictator (run time: 2 hrs, 6 min). This 1940 comedy-drama, the first talkie that Chaplin ever made, is a political satire that mercilessly targets anti-Semitism and the fascist regimes of Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini. The film is praised today as an historically significant work of satire. The iconic final monologue of the film is a call for humanity and kindness to defeat hatred. Chaplin’s film reminds us that the only thing preventing hate from overtaking society is the resistance of those willing to fight for a peaceful world.

There will be one intermission during this screening. Tickets available online or at the door. Seating is limited!
