Movies with the Meadows pairs screen and scholar; register to receive links to view the film at your leisure prior to attending a live Zoom talk at 7 p.m. CST on Thursday, March 4. For this presentation, Dr. Constantin C. Icleanu, lecturer of Spanish at SMU, will provide an in-depth look at El Rayo (Hassan’s Way), a 2013 film directed by Fran Araújo and Ernesto de Nova. The film presents the story of Hassan Ben Oudra who, after 13 years in Spain, is jobless and decides to return home to Morocco. He invests all of his savings in a secondhand tractor so that he can earn a living in Morocco, and then uses it to travel to his homeland. This journey is based on a true story, played by a real man who travels from town to town while meeting unforgettable characters. He must face and overcome multiple obstacles, turning his story into a genuine odyssey. To register, visit https://www.meadowsmuseumdallas.org/program-calendar/.
