Registration is required and can be done online at www.voorheesvillelibrary.org.
WWI movie
Join us at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Oct. 4 for the WWI movie “Paths of Glory.” Safe in their picturesque chateau behind the front lines, the French general staff passes down a direct order to Colonel Dax (Kirk Douglas): take the Ant Hill at any cost.
A suicide mission, the attack is doomed to failure. Covering up their fatal blunder, the generals order the arrest of three innocent soldiers, charging them with cowardice and mutiny. Dax, a lawyer in civilian life, rises to the men's defense but soon realizes that, unless he can prove that the generals were to blame, nothing less than a miracle will save his clients from the firing squad.
Light refreshments will be served. This movie is part of "The Great War Remembrance Series" of educational programs.
