Cinema Club is a monthly program which includes a film screening followed by a community discussion for cinephiles and movie lovers interested in having thought-provoking conversations about cinema. This month's featured film is On the Basis of Sex (2018) in celebration of Women's History Month. The true story of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, her struggles for equal rights, and the early cases of a historic career that lead to her nomination and confirmation as U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice. 2h. Rated  PG-13. Light refreshments provided. Held on the last Tuesday of every month at 5:30pm. Starting in 1981, Congress passed a public law that authorized and formally requested for the President to proclaim one specific week in March as “Women’s History Week.” Over the next five years, Congress continued to work towards what would eventually become Women’s History Month, a monthlong celebration and recognition of women’s achievements and contributions in history. At San Diego Public Library we celebrate and honor this month with programs, resources and booklists.
