We will be screening the Cohen Brothers directed, No Country for Old Men. Based upon a novel written by Cormac McCarthy, the film won numerous awards and garnered near universal praise upon its release. The film poses numerous questions about our relationships with humans and other species and we hope to watch it with a critical anti-speciesist lens.

Vegan treats will be provided and there will be a discussion following the film.
