In honor of Black History month, enjoy the film, “Fruitvale Station” starting promptly at 6:30 pm on Thursday, February 12 in the Keys Community Room of the Milton Public Library, 476 Canton Avenue in Milton 02186.  Admission is free to the public.

This is a 2013 American drama film written and directed by Ryan Coogler and it is his first feature-length movie.  It is based on the events leading to the death of Oscar Grant, a 22-year-old young man from Hayward, CA and his experiences on the last day of his life before he was fatally shot by BART police in the early morning hours of New Year’s Day 2009.  This is a tragic true story which should not be missed. The production debuted at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Grand Jury Prize and the Audience Award for U.S. dramatic film.  Forest Whitaker is one of the film’s producers.  This film received critical acclaim upon its release and earned other awards.

This program is sponsored by the Friends of the Milton Public Library.
