Watch Party – ‘The Whole Gritty City’ on August 6th

It’s time for a new Watch Party movie discussion!  Every week, Watch Party recommends a show for you to watch using IndieFlix, Qello Concerts, or AcornTV, all available FREE for you to use with your Davenport Public Library card. You have a whole week to watch the show and then join in every Thursday in August at 4p using GoTo Meeting to discuss the show/movie. Be sure to watch the show before the program!

On August 6th, Watch Party will be discussing ‘The Whole Gritty City’ on Qello Concerts. The Whole Gritty City is a unique, fascinating window into the little-known world of New Orleans school marching bands. The documentary is a dramatic, music-filled story of children struggling to reach adulthood in one of America’s most impoverished and violent cities. The film follows kids in three bands as the directors get them ready to perform in the Mardi Gras parades, and teach them to succeed and to survive. Navigating the urban minefield through moments of setback, loss, discovery, and triumph, these children and their adult leaders reveal the power and resilience of a culture.

Information about how to join in is below! We hope to see you there. Questions about how to access IndieFlix, Qello Concerts, or AcornTV? Give us a call at 563-326-7832.
