In the turbulence of the 1970s, the international drug trade underwent a fast, violent, and lucrative revolution. One ordinary American was at its center. In a few short years, George Jung, a high-school football star from Small Town USA, single handedly became the world's premiere importer of cocaine from Colombia's Medellin cartel, changing the course of an entire generation. Johnny Depp stars as Jung, the American link to Colombia's cocaine trade. Blow also features Penelope Cruz, Franka Potente, Paul Reubens, and Ray Liotta.
Seating is limited and is first-come, first-serve. The screening is sponsored by Beyond the Wall Posters and Frames, the Student Activities Office, and UR Cinema Group. Blow is rated R. ID is required. No one under the age of 18 will be admitted without parent or legal guardian. For more information please contact (585) 275-5911.
