Hispanic Heritage Movie Night: "Spare Parts"

Join us for a film series that celebrates the stories, dreams, and experiences of the Latin American community! From Sept. 13 to Oct. 11, the Wallingford Public Library & Spanish Community of Wallingford (SCOW) will co-host Friday night screenings of films that explore Latine characters and culture in honor of National Hispanic Heritage Month. Following this five-week series, we will show a Latin-themed movie the second Friday of the month from fall to late spring. All are welcome to attend; no registration is required. 

Our fifth film in the series will be the 2015 drama Spare Parts (Rated PG-13). This inspirational movie tells the story of four Hispanic students who, with the help of their high school's newest teacher (George Lopez), form a robotics club. Although they have no experience, the youths set their sights on a national robotics contest. With $800 and parts scavenged from old cars, they build a robot and compete against reigning champion MIT. Along the way, the students learn not only how to build a robot but something far more important: how to forge bonds that will last a lifetime.
