Please join us for a film inspired by the film director's own grandmother, Thelma Post, who is portrayed as an unlikely action hero.

In the first leading film role of her 70-year career, June Squibb portrays the strong-willed Thelma with grit and determination, demonstrating that she is more than capable of taking care of business despite what her daughter Gail, son-in-law Alan, or grandson Danny might believe. When 93-year-old Thelma Post gets duped by a phone scammer pretending to be her grandson, she sets out on a treacherous quest across the city to reclaim what was taken from her. Rated PG-13. 2024

This program is supported by the Burke Branch Friends. To join the Friends and help support the Library, visit burke-branch-friends.mailchimpsites.com or speak with a Library staff member.
