Cinema Chats: 'Chariots of Fire'
Join us on Wednesday, December 4th at 6pm ET on Zoom for another installment of our Cinema Chats series!
Chariots of Fire (1981) follows two young track athletes who train for the 1924 Paris Olympics amid the classist and religiously divided UK of the post-WWI era. Eric Liddell (Ian Charleson), a devout Christian born to Scottish missionaries in China, sees running as part of his worship of God and refuses to train or compete on the Sabbath. Harold Abrahams (Ben Cross), the son of a Lithuanian Jewish immigrant, deals with antisemitism and class discrimination at Cambridge University and in British society. Chariots of Fire won the 1982 Academy Awards for best picture, best original score, best screenplay and best costume design.
Join us with pop culture writer and cultural commentator MaryAnn Johanson and Cinema Chats moderator Lucy Shahar for a discussion about this heartfelt historical sports drama.
We recommend you watch the film in advance of this lecture. Chariots of Fire can be streamed on Apple TV, Google Play, YouTube, and Amazon Prime.
Please see the Zoom link in your order confirmation email. This program is entirely virtual.
