In The Public an unusually bitter Arctic blast has made its way to downtown Cincinnati and the front doors of the public library where the action of the fiIm takes place. At odds with library officials over how to handIe the extreme weather event, some homeless patrons turn the buiIding into a shelter for the night by staging an "Occupy" sit in. What begins as an act of civil disobedience becomes a stand-off with police and a rush-to-judgment media constantly speculating about what's realIy happening. This David versus GoIiath story tackIes some of our nation's most chalIenging issues, homeIessness and mental iIlness and sets the drama inside one of the last bastions of democracy-in-action: your public library. |
