This week, a fantastically thoughtful film is playing as part of the Webster Film SeriesThrow Down Your Heart explores the roots of banjo, searching for it's origins in Africa.  Music can transcend language, culture and situation and you'll both hear and see it happen through the film.  While it's not the most "traditional" of instruments, the exploration of the music and the instuments that preceeded it are fascinating stuff.  For music-lovers, it's an emotional exploration of sound and sights.  So grab a friend and check out some duelin' banjo's Mali- style!

Throw Down Your Heart screens at 8pm each evening and is part of the Webster Film Series, and is on an extended run through Thursday, June 11th.  Tickets may be purchased at the box office prior to each screening.
