Join us for a screening and discussion of "Agatha and the Truth of Murder." We'll meet earlier than usual this month to allow time for the film and discussion.

Movie Night!

Step into a compelling Victorian-era mystery with a screening of Agatha and the Truth of Murder. Set in 1926 during the real-life disappearance of Agatha Christie, the film imagines the celebrated author investigating a shocking murder case. After the movie, we'll discuss the film.

"Agatha and the Truth of Murder"

"This film imagines what might have happened to the author Agatha Christie. In 1926, with her writing in crisis and her personal life in tatters, a young Agatha Christie decides to solve a real-life murder." - Kanopy
