Independent Film Series at the Royal Oak Public Library

The Royal Oak Public Library continues its Independent Film Series on Saturday, June 25 at 2:00 pm with the showing of Glassland.

John lives with his mother, Jean, in a social housing suburb and ekes out a meager living as a taxi driver. John returns home one morning to find his mother unconscious from an alcohol overdose; however this was not the first time. Jean violently rejects John's attempts to help as well as his intentions to unite the family. When Jean is offered an opportunity to recover, and with no savings or insurance, John is forced to offer his services to a petty criminal to help pay for his mother's costly rehab program. John is subsequently faced with a life-changing task that may change him and his family's lives forever. The film is 93 minutes in English.

The film is appropriate for ages 18 and older. Admission is free. For more information, contact the Adult Reference Desk at 248-246-3727 or visit ropl.org/events.
