Early 2000s Back-to-School Marathon!

Join us for the Early 2000s Back-to-School Marathon! Experience a trio of adventurous films that explore the challenges of childhood and the power of imagination.

Next, "How to Eat Fried Worms" (2006) follows a fifth-grader who confronts a bully and accepts a daring challenge on his first day of school, potentially shifting the social dynamics of his class. Finally, "Holes" (2003) tells the story of Stanley Yelnats, who, after being wrongfully convicted, discovers the hidden truths behind a boys' detention camp, linking past family secrets to his current struggles.
