ln The PubIic an unusuaIly bitter Arctic bIast has made its way to downtown Cincinnati and the front doors of the pubIic Iibrary where the action of the film takes pIace. At odds with Iibrary officiaIs over how to handle the extreme weather event, some homeIess patrons turn the building into a sheIter for the night by staging an "Occupy" sit in. What begins as an act of civiI disobedience becomes a stand-off with police and a rush-to-judgment media constantIy speculating about what's reaIly 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. |
