Hades punishment: Andromeda must be sacrificed to Zeus or Hades will release the Kraken. \nWhen Perseus comes to the realization that he is the half-son of Zeus\, he gets together a band of men to defeat the Kraken. However\, once Hades learns of this plan he sends Calibos after the men. Through the journey\, Perseus learns that the only way to defeat the Kraken is with the head of Medusa. \nPerseus and his men travel to the underworld in search of Medusa\, where all but Persus is killed. He defeats Medusa and in turn defeats Calibos. Perseus is urged by his dying guardian to hurry as the Kraken will be released shortly\, however\, he is too late. His new battle is to save Andromeda from her fate. \n  \nAbout the NEA Big Read\nThe National Endowment for the Arts Big Read\, a partnership with Arts Midwest\, broadens our understanding of our world\, our communities\, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book.

SUMMARY:Jason & the Argonauts
DESCRIPTION:We welcome you to join us in the Matthews theater on Saturday\, January 21 from 2-4 pm for a free screening of the 1963 film Jason & the Argonauts. \nThis cult classic was a leader in special effects for its time\, featuring the mind-blowing stop motion scenes of film artist\, Ray Harryhausen. Who can forget the incredible battle against the skeleton army? \n[arve url=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BfedvthepRs” loop=”no” muted=”no” /] \nAs told by the original Greek epic\, Jason and his crew set sail in search of the legendary Golden Fleece. The first stop made by the Argonauts\, Jason’s crew of highly skilled warriors\, is to an island populated solely by women who\, unknown to Jason and his men\, had killed their husbands. \nAfter the first of many adventures\, Jason and the Argonauts come to the Straits of Bosphorus\, known to the Greeks as the end of the world. The Greeks believed this to be a perilous location and trusted that the rocks would crash into and ships that made an attempt to pass. However\, Jason had earlier helped a prophet who instructed him to send a bird ahead\, allowing the rocks to reopen for his ship instead of crashing into it. \nAt the almost-end of his journey\, Jason is faced with yet another set of challenges given to him by King Aietes\, the holder of the Golden Fleece. Given a list of tasks deemed to be impossible\, Jason accomplishes them all with the help of one person- Medea\, the daughter of King Aietes. Medea had taken a liking to Jason and offered her help in these challenges in exchange for him agreeing to marry her. \nJason and Medea return to Greece to reclaim his fathers throne\, but their success is short-lived. They become exiled to Corinth where Jason\, breaking his promise to the gods to only be true to Medea\, accepts the offer of the king for his daughters hand in marriage. Medea\, enraged by the exchange\, proceeds to kill all the women\, and her children with Jason. She later finds her way to marriage with Achilles on Mount Olympus. \n  \nAbout the NEA Big Read\nThe National Endowment for the Arts Big Read\, a partnership with Arts Midwest\, broadens our understanding of our world\, our communities\, and ourselves through the joy of sharing a good book.

Castle\,  Christina D. King\n\n“Warrior Women” is the story of mothers and daughters fighting for Native rights in the American Indian Movement of the 1970s. The film unveils not only a female perspective of history\, but also examines the impact political struggles have on the children who bear witness. In the 1970s\, with the swagger of unapologetic Indianness\, organizers of the American Indian Movement (AIM) fought for Native liberation and survival as a community of extended families. \nWarrior Women is the story of Madonna Thunder Hawk\, one such AIM leader who shaped a kindred group of activists’ children – including her daughter Marcy – into the “We Will Remember” Survival School as a Native alternative to government-run education. Together\, Madonna and Marcy fought for Native rights in an environment that made them more comrades than mother-daughter. Today\, with Marcy now a mother herself\, both are still at the forefront of Native issues\, fighting against the environmental devastation of the Dakota Access Pipeline and for Indigenous cultural values. \nThrough a circular Indigenous style of storytelling\, this film explores what it means to navigate a movement and motherhood and how activist legacies are passed down and transformed from generation to generation in the context of colonizing government that meets Native resistance with violence. \nWatch trailer and find out more
