Join us for a picnic under the trees along Banyan Lawn at Roma Park. Bring a picnic rug, snacks, and anything else you'd like to enjoy. In case of rain, we'll likely meet at the nearby Garden Room.
This month's genre is "When religion goes too far."
Blurb: "On September 12, 2018, British-Australian academic Kylie Moore-Gilbert was arrested at Tehran Airport by Iran’s feared Islamic Revolutionary Guards. Convicted of espionage in a shadowy trial presided over by Iran’s most notorious judge, Dr. Moore-Gilbert was sentenced to 10 years in prison. Incarcerated in Tehran’s Evin and Qarchak prisons for 804 days, this is the full and gripping account of her harrowing ordeal. Held in a filthy solitary confinement cell for months and subjected to relentless interrogation, Kylie was pushed to the limits of her endurance by extreme physical and psychological deprivation."
