The movie 'JoJo Rabbit' will play at the Virginia Theater in Champaign for one night only – Wednesday, Sept 21 at 7 PM. This 2019 film from Taika Waititi (born Taika David Cohen) is an exploration of how war impacts everyday people, told through the eyes of a preteen Austrian boy during World War II who idolizes Adolf Hitler. The film is the story of his awakening, based on his experiences. The screening is part of the Arthouse Experience, a monthly series curated by Sanford Hess – and will feature a post-show discussion. Tickets are $7. Age suggestion: While this film is a comedy, it has serious topics and includes both violence and hate speech. CommonSense Media suggests ages 13+.
