Andrew Davies' multi-award-winning adaptation of Jane Austen's classic Regency romance. Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle lead a fabulous cast in this definitive 1995 adaptation of "Pride and Prejudice."

VINE Sanctuary Presents Forever Home
Forever HOME follows a young couple’s dream to provide the best possible life for rescued farm animals by rethinking the concept of “home.” At their refuge, they base their designs on the needs of the individual animals, replacing conventional barns with customized homes. Paul, an architect, calls it "animal centered design." With empathy and boundless imagination, they’re bringing architectural design to the world of animal care and providing a blueprint for a compassionate, sustainable future. This unique film is a celebration of life and creativity!
There will be Q & A after the film with pattrice jones from VINE Santuary.
