Movie Night “The Children’s Train”
Wednesday, February 5 7pm 97/100
Clubhouse No Charge
World War II left Italy in ruins, and many who survived faced a harsh reality: figuring out how to keep their families alive after they were left with nothing. So when the nation’s Communist Party offered a program called Treni della Felicità, or Happiness Trains, many parents hesitantly signed up their children for the journey — one that would send them north, to families in a more prosperous part of the country. Based on the historical novel of the same name, Cristina Comencini’s film The Children’s Train follows a mother who signs up her son for the Happiness Trains as a last resort, and how their separation affected their lives.
