LWVADC Movie Matinee: "The Tuskegee Airmen" - 2 PM

Movie projector graphic


The League of Women Voters of Arapahoe and Douglas Counties is proud to present a free viewing of the film "The Tuskegee Airmen" in-person.

About the Film:

This drama is based on the true story of the all-Black 332nd Fighter Squadron. In the film, "it is 1943 and the Germans are winning the Second World War as the U.S. suffers huge losses on the ground and in the air.

Four newly recruited pilots are united by a desire to serve their country at a time when black flyers are not welcomed in the Air Force. From the brutal demands of their training to the perils of flying over nations at war, the men they call the "The Tuskegee Airmen" must undertake the riskiest mission of their lives -- to prove to America that courage knows no color. Their success could earn them respect, save lives and help with a terrible war. Their future could destroy more hopes and dreams than their own."

The film, directed by Robert Markowitz, stars Lawrence Fishburne, Allen Payne, Malcom-Jamal Warner, Courtney B. Vance, Andre Braugher, Chris McDonald, John Lithgow, and Cuba Gooding Jr.

The film's running time is approximately 106 minutes long and rated PG-13.

For more information about the film, see the  IMDB page.

We look forward to seeing you there and we still recommend the use of masks for everyone's safety.
