Cinema Journey is a film club that helps us engage in our personal journeys of spiritual growth through the story-telling power of movies. Each season, we watch and discuss four movies that are connected by a common underlying theme. Watch the films on your own, and then attend the discussion gatherings, either in-person or on Zoom. Join us for these inspiring conversations that are designed to help us discover the movies' underlying life lessons and hidden truths! Visit our website HERE.
ABOUT THE MOVIE
Mona Lisa Smile (2003)
What happens when young women are trained to uphold and promote the very power structure that keeps them down? Institutional sexism in higher education
In 1953, Katherine Watson, a progressive, idealistic young art teacher, travels from California to New England to teach art history at the prestigious all-female Wellesley College, where she anticipates working with the smartest young women in the country and being able to make a difference in their lives. But while the school prides itself on its high standards of academic excellence, it quickly becomes clear to Miss Watson that the only grade that really counts at Wellesley is the one a husband gives his wife for her performance as a wife and mother. "I thought I was headed to a place that would turn out tomorrow's leaders," she fumes, "not their wives!" When her plans for a more adventurous art curriculum are stymied by the college's conservative administrators, and her efforts to change her students' perspectives are met with resistance and retaliation, Miss Watson must decide whether to give in... or keep fighting.
