A.K. Smiley Public Library's "Southern California in Film" series continues on Saturday, June 17th at 2pm with a screening of Zoot Suit at the Contemporary Club.

A fictionalized depiction of real events, the film tackles issues of racial identity, discrimination, and police corruption. Zoot Suit was nominated for a Golden Globe Award and its director was awarded the Critics Award at the Festival du Film Policier de Cognac in France.

 This film is rated R for violence, profanity, and mild sexual content. Registration is requested, but not required. No admission is charged for film screenings, thanks to the generous contributions of donors to the library.
