SPECIAL GERMAN MOVIE EVENT We invite anyone with an interest in the German language and culture to join us for a movie showing! When: Saturday, October 15th, 2016 Time: 3 pm Place: St. John’s Evangelical-Lutheran Church Address: 521 Walnut St. Reading, PA 19601
This will be the first in what is hopefully an exciting and educational series of German language movies. The first movie is set in the year 1954, following the story of a German soccer team, who triumphed in the soccer finals. At the same time, the movie focuses on a boy and his family, who were separated because of circumstances surrounding World War II.
The movie will be in German with English subtitles. There will be refreshments and food during the film, including popcorn, soda, and more. Following the movie, there will also be a fun and interest- ing discussion of the film in both German and English. We look forward to seeing you at this event!
