He believes that in some way his journey will help his friend to live.
FILM ENTHUSIAST CLUB: Are you a Cineaste (an enthusiast for or devotee of movies or filmmaking)? If so, join us for this fun fan of films group.

Watch the feature film and then join the group in giving a 'thumbs up' review. *Please note films are always subject to change.This session meets January 2023 through the end of May 2023. Coming up on January 3rd is the Death on the Nile which is rated PG-13 and directed by Kenneth Branagh. Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot's Egyptian vacation aboard a glamorous river steamer turns into a terrifying search for a murderer when a picture-perfect couple's idyllic honeymoon is tragically cut short. Set against an epic landscape of sweeping desert vistas and the majestic Giza pyramids, this tale of unbridled passion and incapacitating jealousy features a cosmopolitan group of impeccably dressed travelers, and enough wicked twists and turns to leave audiences guessing until the final, shocking denouement.
