Lydian Sunday afternoon movies

Sunday, November 22nd, 2pm 

Movie - Good Night & Good Luck, 2005. 

The McCarthy hearings of the 1950’s created an atmosphere of fear and persecution, with thousands of Americans losing their jobs and being blackballed under suspicion of being Communists. CBS journalist Edward R. Murrow and his staff attempted to expose McCarthy in the face of intense pushback from CBS executives and nervous corporate sponsors who feared political and financial retaliation.  [George Clooney, Patricia Clarkson, Robert Downey, Jr.]

Sunday, December 13th, 2pm

Movie - A Call to Spy, 2019. During World War II, Churchill created a secret new spy organization of women (as male agents drew too much suspicion) for sabotage and resistance work in Nazi-occupied France. The film focuses on three real-life heroines who helped turn the tide of the war. [Sarah Megan Thomas, Stana Katic, Radhika Apte, and Linus Roache]
