Parent Movie Night: Grapes of Wrath

  • Ridgeview Classical Schools 1800 South Lemay Avenue Fort Collins, CO, 80525 United States (map)

Join us for a screening of the 1940 classic, The Grapes of Wrath. The Joad clan, introduced to the world in John Steinbeck's iconic novel, is looking for a better life in California. After their drought-ridden farm is seized by the bank, the family -- led by just-paroled son Tom (Henry Fonda) -- loads up a truck and heads West. On the road, beset by hardships, the Joads meet dozens of other families making the same trek and holding onto the same dream. Once in California, however, the Joads soon realize that the promised land isn't quite what they hoped.

Following the film, parents are invited to stay for a guided discussion.
