Hailed as "absorbing," "a must see," "Oscar material" and "the best movie at SXSW," MINE is a documentary about the essential bond between humans and animals, set against the backdrop of one of the worst natural disasters in modern U.S. history: Hurricane Katrina. This gripping, character-driven story follows New Orleans residents as they attempt the daunting task of trying to reunite with their pets who have been adopted by families all over the country, and chronicles the custody battles that arise when two families love the same pet. Who determines the fate of the animals-and the people-involved? A compelling meditation on race, class and the power of compassion, MINE examines how we treat animals as an extension of how we view and treat each other.

Doors open at 7:00, and the feature film begins at 7:15pm.  $1.00 donations for organic popcorn help the library to renew its movie license.

Friends of the Library will hold a booksale the next day, Saturday from 9:00-5:00.  Filmgoers who can help setup the booksale after the movie are invited to remain an extra half hour.
