PING PONG (Movie) Screening at the PB Library

August 9th, 2013
Ping Pong” is a documentary by Hugh Hartford and Anson Hartford.  Here is the description:                              Eight players with 703 years between them compete in the Over 80 World Table Tennis ChampionshipsPing Pong is a story of hope, regret, friendship, love—and the tenacity of the human spirit in the face of mortality. (60 mins) This film will air national on PBS’s award-winning documentary series, POV, on September 9.  Our library will offer an advance screening, projecting the film on our big screen and following it with a discussion, on Tuesday, August 27, at 6:00 pm.  Any help that you can provide with publicity would be much appreciated.  Also, please let me know if anyone from your group might be interested in facilitating the post-film discussion.  I usually lead them, but I think that our attendees would prefer the perspective of a ping pong aficionado.  Thank you.
