Come along on an epic adventure at this special showing of The Wild Robot, based on the popular bestseller by Peter Brown, that follows the journey of a robot–Rozzum unit 7134, “Roz” for short–that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island. She must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings, gradually building relationships with the animals on the island and becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling. A powerful story of the discovery of self, a thrilling examination of the bridge between technology and nature, and a moving exploration of what it means to be alive and connected to all living things.
