Free film planned Friday

The Fairfield Public Library will show a free film Friday evening.

Doors open at 7 p.m, with the film beginning at 7:30 p.m.

The 2012 film is the story of a successful Hollywood director, Tom Shadyac (?Liar Liar,? ?Nutty Professor,? ?Bruce Almighty?), who experienced a life-threatening head injury, and his ensuing journey to try and answer two very basic questions: ?What?s wrong with our world?? and ?What can we do about it??

With a film crew of four, Shadyac visits some of today?s great minds, including authors, poets, teachers, religious leaders and scientists, including Howard Zinn, Lynn McTaggart, Desmond Tutu, Thom Harmann and Coleman Barks, searching for the fundamental endemic problem that causes all of the other problems, while simultaneously reflecting on his own life choices of excess, greed and eventual healing.

?We started by asking what?s wrong with the world, and ended up discovering what?s right with it,? said Shadyac.

In addition to starring in the movie, Shadyac also wrote and directed it.

Full details about the movie can be found at www.fairfield.lib.ia.us under the library?s Calendar tab.
