FADL Film Club
Discussing THE NAMESAKE (2006)

Just like a book club, only for MOVIES. Join the conversation. Watch the film ahead of time (or, if you've already seen it, plan to rewatch it), and then join us at the Ferndale Library and meet/chat with other film buffs while we watch a few key clips from the film.

You can place a hold on the film in our online catalog or stream it on Kanopy!

The Namesake: After moving from Calcutta to New York, members of the Ganguli family maintain a delicate balancing act between honoring the traditions of their native India and blending into American culture
