Special SFPAL screening of McFarland USA was a smash!

On a recent, brisk February morning SFPAL friends and family gathered at the UA Regal Cinema at the Stonestown Galleria to enjoy a special screening of the new inspirational film from Disney Studios, McFarland USA, starring Kevin Costner.
The crowd gathered in the lobby and loaded up on popcorn and soda pop from the snack bar before settling into their seats. Following a brief introduction from Chief Greg Suhr and SFPAL President Captain David Lazar, the lights went down and the projector started to roll.
McFarland USA chronicles the true story of high school coach Jim White and the kids from a predominately Latino small town who find themselves linked, like it or not, in an effort to achieve a goal no one thought they could reach.
The SFPAL audience clapped and cheered several times throughout the uplifting story. Afterward, nearly everyone in attendance commented on how inspiring and motivating the film was.
SFPAL would like to thank the UA Regal Cinema and Walt Disney Pictures for providing the group with a sneak peek of what is sure to be one of the year’s most heartwarming films. McFarland USA is set for general release on February, 20th.
