Free “J'Accuse” WWI Screening
on November 17th

A.K. Smiley Public Library concludes its free WWI film series with the mesmerizing French classic J’Accuse on Saturday, November 17 at 1pm in the Contemporary Club, 173 S. Eureka St.

A remake of a 1919 anti-war film of the same name by the same director (Abel Gance), J’Accuse depicts Jean Diaz, a French soldier, who returns from war and sacrifices his dream of being a poet for a far more important pursuit: ending war. Turning to science, Diaz dedicates himself to creating technology that will make combat obsolete only to find his invention in the hands of the French Army on the eve of World War II.

This screening is free and open to the public. For more information on this screening, please visit www.akspl.org  or contact the Heritage Room at (909)798-7632 or heritage@akspl.org. Registration is requested, but not required.
