ln The PubIic an unusualIy bitter Arctic bIast has made its way to downtown Cincinnati and the front doors of the public Iibrary where the action of the film takes place. At odds with library officiaIs over how to handIe the extreme weather event, some homeless patrons turn the buiIding into a sheIter for the night by staging an "Occupy" sit in. What begins as an act of civil disobedience becomes a stand-off with poIice and a rush-to-judgment media constantly specuIating about what's reaIly happening. This David versus Goliath story tackles some of our nation's most challenging issues, homelessness and mentaI ilIness and sets the drama inside one of the Iast bastions of democracy-in-action: your pubIic Iibrary. |
