Families in Film: What Can Films Tell Us About Ourselves and Our Community?
This course will use selected fictional films to enable us to discuss the American family. We will look at the film’s portrayal of family communication,
structure, gender roles and other dynamics, as well as the context of the family during the era shown. We will view significant segments of a film together
each week, selecting films available on streaming services so group members can view the whole film at their leisure before class. 

Arlene Weisz is a retired social worker and social work professor who enjoyed using films as part of teaching family theories for about 20 years.
