Description

Paper Clips is an international award-winning documentary film released by Miramax, and the Producer has agreed to host 12 people in his magnificent home theater for a private screening! Most recently, Paper Clips was nominated for a 2006 Emmy Award!

You and your guests will enjoy hors d'oeuvres and wine before the film, then view the film in the Producer's state-of-the-art home theater, and enjoy coffee and dessert after with Q & A session with both the Producer and Director of the film. And a little secret - if you do it during nice weather, you'll get to enjoy your libations in his amazing back yard oasis!

The town of Whitwell is a tiny community of about 2,000 people nestled in the mountains of Tennessee. Its citizens are almost exclusively white and Christian. In 1998, the children of Whitwell Middle School took on an inspiring project, launched out of their principal's desire to help her students open their eyes to the diversity of the world beyond their insulated valley. What happened would change the students, their teachers, their families and the entire town forever . . . and open hearts and minds around the world.

PAPER CLIPS tells the moving story of how these students responded to what had been to them a completely unfamiliar chapter in human history - the Holocaust - with a promise to honor every single soul lost by collecting paperclips to represent each individual exterminated by the Nazis. Their dedication was absolute. Their plan was simple but profound. The amazing result, which stands permanently in their schoolyard, is an unforgettable lesson of how a committed group of children can change the world, one classroom at a time.

Watch the movie trailer.
