Movies of the Month: Social Work & Cinema

This unusual film program was instituted out of a desire to show and discuss feature length films, both fiction and documentary, which seem to be of outstanding educational value to social work students.

The first of these films, My Name is Bill (1989) an HBO production, is an excellent film with James Woods and James Garner, about the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous. This film has been postponed because of a scheduling conflict but will be rescheduled. (Check the Wurzweiler website for the new date)

Movies will be shown from 4:00 to 6:00 on Wednesdays, and will be followed by a discussion group. These evenings are free and popcorn will be served at no charge.
