DESCRIPTION:Join us Thursday, September 15, 7-9 pm for our screening of John Sayles' 
 survey of personal intrigue set against the profounder social nemesis of 
 the privatization of the economic value of nature, "Sunshine 
 State."\n\nGolden, sunflaked-colored with butter and yeast popcorn will 
 attend this showing. As usual, theme and production values discussion will 
 follow the film.\n\nCritic's synopsis:\n\nAmbitious land developers descend 
 on a tiny Florida coastline community, inhabited mostly by local yokels and 
 elderly African Americans. Many of them don't want to see their homes and 
 businesses sacrificed in the name of "progress" (a.k.a. condos, hotels, 
 strip malls, and so on). But the city council appears to be all too willing 
 to let them come in and develop the land. In addition, one weary hotel 
 owner is thinking about giving in and selling. Meanwhile, one prominent 
 African American athlete suddenly becomes interested in buying out his 
 aging neighbors. So now that the wheels of progress appear to be in motion, 
 it seems that a minor miracle is the only thing that can stop it.
