Screening of Cameron Crowe's film Elizabethtown (2005)- which the author says questions "what it really means to be alive in America today?"
The purpose of this screening was to broaden the dscussion of the American dream and the concept of what it means to be American today. I distributed extracts from the director's notes on why and how he wrote the screenplay for this movie and on the filming of certain scenes.
