FILM@LIM – Felicity: An American Girl Adventure | FREE

@ Join LIM and the Port Jefferson Arts Council for a FREE screening and discussion of Felicity: An American Girl Adventure (2005). Based on the American Girl Doll Series of books this delightful, family-friendly film starring a young Shailene Woodley follows Felicity Merriman in this coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of the impending American Revolution. Ten-year-old Felicity Merriman is growing up in Williamsburg, Virginia, just before the American Revolution. High-spirited and independent, Felicity decides to tame a wild horse owned by an abusive leather maker/tanner, Jiggy Nye. Even though her parents Martha and Edward forbid her, she runs off to be with the horse, whom she names Penny. She eventually tames Penny and the two become fast friends. Meanwhile, tension grows between the colonists. Some, including Edward and his apprentice Ben Davidson, wish for independence from King George III of England. Others, like Felicity’s grandfather and her best friend Elizabeth Cole’s family, remain loyal to the king. (WIKIPEDIA) Check back for updates on speakers and other related updates for this event!
