“Movies to Move You” is a free community event on Sunday, February 8 presented by The Center for Educational & Cultural Opportunities (CECO) at Buzzards Play Productions (BPP), located at 3065 Cranberry Highway in East Wareham, across from Benny’s. The movies being shown are all based on true stories – all are inspiring. The Jackie Robinson story, as told in ’42,’ will be shown at 12:30pm. The Pact, a truly inspiring story of three teens growing up in a crime- and drug- infested community of Newark, Jersey who overcome tremendous adversity to become doctors follows at 3:15 pm. And last, Men of Honor, the Carl Breshear story about an African American Navy SEAL and the adversity he had to overcome to succeed, will be shown at 5:15 pm (Rated R). Join us for one or all three movies.
The impetus for starting the Center was taking five Wareham youth to Boston to see Lion King. Trenton Jenkins and his wife helped chaperone the group and he said, “The play was life changing. I never knew the play had so much to offer. It was so exciting to see my first live theater event.”
Sonya Rose, who has three daughters – one at Howard University, another at Upper Cape, and the oldest in retail – said, “I think the Center is a great idea. It will expose kids and families to new things. The Center was started by Onset Foursquare Church, but is separate from the church, so anyone can participate.”
