Movies, in light of the virus....

How about a Virtual ORT Film Outing?
Although we can't see a movie together at the theater or gather at a restaurant,
we can have our ORT Movie Group Outing on Zoom. We choose two films to watch separately and then hold a zoom gathering to meet/greet and discuss the movies. It's happening!
The first zoom meeting was August 16, 2020.
Since then, we have been coming together on the second Sunday of every month at 4:00 on zoom. Note that there are different dates for June and July. See below.
Please let Marian Cohen know if you're interested.
She will include you on the zoom email and tell you what has been chosen for the month if it doesn't appear here. Contact Marian at marianc@umich.edu or 734-761-4578.
November 12 (may possibly change to November 19- watch for an email)
Are You There, God? It’s Me, Margaret, 2023, Amazon ($5.99),
1h 47m, IMDb 7.4/10, Rotten Tomatoes 99%
Eleven-year-old Margaret moves to a new town and starts to contemplate everything about life, friendship and adolescence. She relies on her mother, Barbara, who offers loving support, and her grandmother, Sylvia, who's coming to terms with finding happiness in the next phase of her life. Questions of identity, one's place in the world, and what brings meaning to life soon brings them closer together than ever before. Based on a novel by Judy Blume.
The Zookeeper's Wife, 2017, Amazon Prime ($3.99), 2h, 8m,
IMDb 7.9/10, Rotten Tomatoes 64%
The time is 1939 and the place is Poland, homeland of Antonina Zabinski and her husband, Dr. Jan Zabinski. The Warsaw Zoo flourishes under Jan's stewardship and Antonina's care. When their country is invaded by the Nazis, Jan and Antonina are forced to report to the Reich's newly appointed chief zoologist, Lutz Heck. The Zabinskis covertly begin working with the Resistance and put into action plans to save the lives of hundreds from what has become the Warsaw Ghetto. Based on a true story.
