Of Interest to Lakewood: Film Premier of Destiny's Bridge In Red Bank Aug. 7
Destiny's Bridge, a film by UniVision's Jack Ballo, opens Wed. Aug.7, 7p.m. at Two River Theater, Bridge St., Red Bank. $12 A homeless minister stands up to a New Jersey town that is evicting him, along with 80 other people living in the woods. When police raid the wooded area and take the minister out in handcuffs, his arrest sets off charges that the town is harassing the same homeless people that they are battling in a heated court case. Tensions flare when local residents put pressure on officials to close the controversial camp known as Tent City. With the town closing in and eviction on their doorstep, the homeless set out to create a self-sustained shelter called Destiny's Bridge, that provides community, ownership and rehabilitation.
Following the film will be a Q&Q with the filmmaker, Minster Steve Brigham and residents of Tent City featured in the film, followed by a reception and pictures on the red carpet! To view the film trailer and for discounted tickets, go to: www.DestinysBridge.com
