This class uses films for discussions about human relationships. After focusing recently on young men growing up in families, we’ll turn our attention to daughters of various ages. During each of 4 sessions we will discuss one film, using discussion questions and film segments selected by the class leader. In order of year of release, we will discuss: Eve’s Bayou (1997); Thirteen (2003); August: Osage County (2013); and Little Women by Gerwig (2019). Participants can view the whole film at home and/or ponder the discussion questions before each session. We will discuss family dynamics and how the films help us think about the world and our own families.

Arlene Weisz is a retired social worker and social work professor who enjoyed using films as part of teaching and learning about families for 20 years.
