About the ZORA! Festival:
Taking place January 21st-29th, 2017 in Eatonville and throughout Orange County, Florida, this multi-day, multi-disciplinary event celebrates the life and work of 20th century writer, folklorist and anthropologist, Zora Neale Hurston; her hometown, Eatonville, the nation’s oldest incorporated African American municipality and the contributions people of African ancestry have made to the United States and world culture.

A portion of the proceeds from this screening will go to the ZORA! Festival.

Stir Crazy:
With a jailbreak offering them their only way out, a despondent duo rack their brains to figure out a foolproof plan. Fortuitously, one of them discovers an unexpected talent as a rodeo rider, and an escape plan begins to take shape at the annual prisoners’ rodeo.

USA, 1980, 111 minutes, Rated R, Directed by Sidney Poitier
