Movies on the Grass is a free event to K-State and the Manhattan community. Movies on the Grass highlights the annual K-State common read and brings light to social justice issues impacting the world today. A different film will be shown each Sunday from September 10th until October 1st. Please bring your own lawn chair or blanket!

*Film starts at 7:30pm, but there will be a speaker at 7:00pm!

On September 10th, come watch To Be Takei. In the film, "George Takei doesn't shy away from digging into his remarkable career and person life in Jennifer Kroot's delightful and incisive film To Be Takei. As a child forced into Japanese-American internment camps, the actor-turned-activist reveals the ways that racism affected him well into his early acting career, where he played stereotypical Asian stock characters in film and television shows. Even after landing the iconic role of Hikaru Sulu on Star Trek, Takei's sharp eye, coupled with his wicked sense of humor, continued to challenge the status quo well into the twenty-first century."
