Free Movie: Last Tuesday of the Month

Belle (PG, 104 minutes) is being shown at the Mattapoisett Senior Center, Center School, 17 Barstow St., on Tuesday, October 28 at 12:00 noon. Sponsored by the Friends of the Mattapoisett Council on Aging (formally known as the Friends of the Elderly), the movie is free.

Belle is a period piece based on the true story of a mixed-race woman raised in 18th century London by an aristocratic family. She becomes a wealthy heiress and a social outcast, an outspoken advocate of British abolitionism because of racial tension at the time. The film works as both an intimate character piece and as a broader glimpse into socio-economic conflicts regarding tolerance and perception.

You get two pizza slices for only $2 prepaid. Pay for your pizza at the Senior Center by Monday, October 27. Please call the Council on Aging at 508-758-4110 to reserve your seat; then we’ll know how many chairs are needed.
