Itinerary:

Though we are a social club with an outdoor theme we have not had too many socials recently. We have done some successful movie nights in the past, so this is the first of what may be a monthly movie night event. Due to movie schedules coming out at short notice so will the event posting. I hope a few can make it and in the future we may try some live theatre.

The movie starts at 6:50. We will meet in the theatre lobby area near the info desk at 6:30 and head to our seats. I will be wearing a yellow EOC hat. We will likely sit somewhere towards the middle or back of the theatre if possible. To save time please try to pre-purchase tickets.

The historic and elegant Garneau Theatre is an original 1940 theatre and has Dolby Digital Sound and comfortable seating. See the website for more information.

Winner 4 Golden Globe awards including best picture-drama and director
Movie Synopsis:

Today is the biggest day in Jamal Malik's life.
A penniless, eighteen year-old orphan from the slums of Mumbai, he's one question away from winning a staggering 20 million rupees on India's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" But when the show breaks for the night, suddenly, he is arrested on suspicion of cheating. After all, how could an uneducated street kid possibly know so much? Determined to get to the bottom of Jamal's story, the jaded Police Inspector spends the night probing Jamal's incredible past, from his riveting tales of the slums where he and his brother Salim survived by their wits to his hair-raising encounters with local gangs to his heartbreak over Latika, the unforgettable girl he loved and lost.

Each chapter of Jamal's increasingly layered story reveals where he learned the answers to the show's seemingly impossible quizzes. But one question remains a mystery: what is this young man with no apparent desire for riches really doing on the game show?

When the new day dawns and Jamal returns to answer the final question, the Inspector and sixty million viewers are about to find out...
