March is Women’s History Month. We’re excited to support the Women’s History Month Film Series at The Little Theatre. Join RYP on Wednesday, March 8th for a drink, a film, and a discussion.

This is a tough and powerful film. ‘City of Joy tells the story of the first class of girls at a remarkable center in Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. It tells of the visionaries who imagined a revolutionary place where women who have suffered horrific rape and abuse, learn to lead amidst a war driven by greed, economics, and colonialism.

The film shares the unlikely friendship that develops when a devout Congolese doctor, Dr. Denis Mukwege, radical playwright and activist, Eve Ensler, and a charismatic Congolese human rights activist, Christine Schuler-Deschryver, join forces to create this safe haven in the middle of violence-torn Eastern Congo, a place they call The City of Joy.

It is the story of the incomprehensible power of the human spirit as we witness our characters’ discovery of hope, even when so much of what was meaningful to them has long been stripped away.’

Meet us at 5:45pm in The Little Theatre Cafe for a happy hour featuring $3 beer and $4 wine for RYP members.
The film starts at 6:30pm
A post-film discussion will follow.

Tickets are $5. Purchase them here:
