Have you seen... an intergenerational movie forum with Cinema I/O is this Saturday, May 29th. Our first film, Home, will start at 10 am and our second film, Back to the future will start at 12 pm. These films were selected out of our many suggested by Cinema I/O's board. Please join us for these films suggested by the community in SWLR!

Home (2015, PG) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I've watched it so many times when I was younger. The more I watched it the more I liked it, especially the characters. It has life lessons." - Demitria, Gen Alpha

Back to the Future (1985, PG) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"Of the series the first one is does the best job of setting up the conflict of the trilogy. Very good. One of the funniest movie of all time." - Kevin, Gen Z
