Film Series’ MissionIn its sixth season at the Ossining Public Library, the monthly Thursday evening draws between 15-25 regular participants. It is one of the most popular series at the library. Together we watch a film and afterwards with a moderator, discuss the legal issues presented in the film.
The series’ mission is to get the community to think about relevant legal issues that may or may not affect them. We select only great cinema, past and present.
