Ethics in Film - "Sci Fi" Seconds
Friday, April 2
7:00 PM (doors open 6:30)
Ceremonial Hall
If your life was in the dumps, would you go for a second chance? A whole new life? A better face and body, a different location and all new friends? And what if that didn’t work out for you? Would you like a third?
Note: This 1966 thriller is not for the faint-of-heart, but is for those ready to consider the ethical choices of our protagonist, played, in the main, by Rock Hudson. Chris Everett will lead the discussion afterwards.
