Wilmette Public Library

Zoom Adult/Teen

Join us for a virtual discussion of Dream Horse, starring Toni Collette and Damian Lewis.

The film tells the inspiring true story of Dream Alliance, an unlikely race horse bred by small town bartender, Jan Vokes. With very little money and no experience, Jan convinces her neighbors to chip in their meager earnings to help raise Dream and compete with the racing elites. Their investment pays off as Dream rises through the ranks and becomes a beacon of hope in their struggling community. (from Kanopy)

Participate in our virtual movie discussion by watching the film prior to the event, then join us for an online video discussion about the film. 

The film is available in the library's Kanopy streaming video collection.
Create your Wilmette Public Library Kanopy account. 

Registrants will receive a link to join the discussion via Zoom.
