Synopsis: Nominated for 2011 Best Foreign Language Film Oscar and awarded Grand Prix honors at the 2010 Cannes Film Festival, this compelling historical drama relates the ordeal of seven French Trappist monks in the mountains of Algeria who are taken captive by Islamic fundamentalists. Before the monks’ abduction, they have ample reason to believe they may be in danger, but their assumption that there can and must be common ground between Islam and Christianity leads them to remain at the monastery.

Set in 1930s Paris, an orphan who lives in the walls of a train station is wrapped up in a mystery involving his late father and an automaton.

Registration is not required and snacks are welcome! Rated PG.

Program Description:

Does your child say hateful things to you when you make even the simplest request? Has your child’s back talk crossed the line into verbal abuse, with cursing and ugly name calling? Do your kids use disgusting language with each other that gets worse when they argue?

This program takes the mystery and fear out of verbal abuse by and between children and shows you a simple, practical way to stop it in its tracks.
