Based on a 2019 book of the same title, a book that was written by two investigative reporters, Jody Kantor and Megan Twohey, this film follows these New York Times reporters who exposed Harvey Weinstein. The film stars Carey Mulligan and Zoe Kazan as Twohey and Kantor, respectively, and chronicles the investigation that uncovered Weinstein's history of abuse and sexual misconduct against women.
Watch the movie on your own, and together we discuss it. Join us at the home of Jane and Bill Lichter on Wednesday, May 1 at 7pm.
For additional information, contact Tina at thubert@knox.org.

CCM Chamber Choir at Knox
"The Tower and the Garden"
April 20
7:30pm
|
|
|
|
Joe Miller, music director and conductor
Featuring faculty artist Kenneth Griffiths, piano
The Chamber Choir welcomes CCM Professor of Collaborative Piano Kenneth Griffiths for Henk Badings evocative Trois Chanson Bretonnes. The choir also performs The Tower and the Garden by Gregory Spears, whose operas Castor and Patience and Fellow Travelers were workshopped during Opera Fusion: New Works, CCM’s collaboration with Cincinnati Opera. With texts by Thomas Merton, Denise Levertov and Keith Garebian, The Tower and the Garden is a setting of three poems for choir and string quartet. The texts juxtapose the dangers of technological hubris (the tower) and the need for a place of refuge (the garden) in a world threatened by war and ecological disaster.
Estimated run time: 1 hour and 15 minutes
Tickets can be purchased online at:
or call 513-556-4183.
