Rated PG-13 | Drama | 122 min At odds over how to handle an unusually bitter Arctic blast that has made its way to downtown Cincinnati, some homeless patrons turn the public library into a shelter for the night by staging an "Occupy" sit in. What begins as an act of civil disobedience becomes a stand-off with police and a rush-to-judgment media constantly speculating about what's really happening. This David versus Goliath story tackles some of our nation's most challenging issues, homelessness and mental illness and sets the drama inside one of the last bastions of democracy-in-action: your public library.   No registration required.
