Twelve Angry Men (1957), directed by Sidney Lumet.
The movie is based on the play by Reginald Rose and is Lumet’s film directorial debut. All-star cast including Martin Balsam, Ed Begley, Lee J. Cobb, Henry Fonda, Jack Klugman, E.G. Marshall, and Jack Warden. The setting is a starkly bare New York City jury room, where the all-male jury deliberates the death-row verdict of a young man accused of stabbing his father to death. Based on the evidence presented during the trial, eleven members of the jury are confident it is an open-and-shut case. They are eager to vote “guilty” and go home. Henry Fonda (Juror #8, Mr. Davis) is the lone holdout. Once he raises doubts, character delineations are drawn more deeply and members of the jury begin moving to different stances.
Film historian Richard Bruno will lead the informative and lively discussion that follows the film. Members: $3. Nonmembers: $4.

The status of Arab-American women in their communities is often misrepresented, both within and outside the Arab community. All too often, Arab women are categorized in stereotypical roles ranging from the hopeless, oppressed figure to the sexy pop star.
The goal of this program is to have an open forum where women and men are able to discuss rationally how women are perceived in the Arab community by non-Arabs, by Arabs, by men and other women within the community. The discussion will touch on dispelling some stereotypes, while the program will conclude with ideas on how to exact change for the future. Open to the public. Admission is free.
Co-sponsored by the New York Society for Ethical Culture.
