This Saturday’s film at the Puyallup Public Library will be OCTOBER SKY (103 minutes, PG). It tells the story of a boy who struggled to escape from his apparent destiny. In his West Virginia town, "growing up" normally meant getting out of school and going to work for the local coal mine. This was his future until one night when he gazed into a star-filled sky and saw a moving object. It was Sputnik, and after that event, the boy's hopes and dreams would never be the same.
OCTOBER SKY tells a true story based on a memoir by NASA's Homer Hickam. The movie is thoroughly believable and intelligent. It will screen at 2:00 pm on January 14th in the library’s South Meeting Room.
