Rogers Park - the film: Friday movie at The Recyclery
Event Information
Description
For our August Social Friday, The Recycelry presents "Rogers Park" - a film directed by a Rogesrs Park local Kyle Henry, who will be joining us at the movie screening for a Q&A session!
About the movie
In Rogers Park, Chicago's most diverse neighborhood, four intertwined lives begin to buckle under midlife pressures. Zeke and his wife Grace navigate parenthood and a financial reversal of fortune while Grace's brother Chris, a writer battling depression, and his partner Deena face a personal crisis that threatens to tear them apart. Meanwhile, Grace and Chris each struggle to confront a shared family trauma. Rogers Park is a drama that explores the ties that bind and the midlife forces that shatter relationships over the course of one tumultuous year.
About the director
Kyle’s feature fiction debut Room premiered at Sundance Film Festival and Cannes Film Festival. It was nominated for two Independent Spirit Awards, including the John Cassavetes Award, and received a nationwide theatrical release. Sections of his follow-up feature, Fourplay, four short tales of sexual intimacy, also screened at Sundance and Cannes.

The Recyclery Collective is an educational bike shop that promotes sustainability by giving access to tools, skills, and opportunities for collaboration.
We envision a diverse, resilient neighborhood filled with knowledgeable, self-reliant cyclists.
The Recyclery is a 501c3 non-profit. All major decisions are made by a quorum of collective members at a twice-a-month meeting. Decisions are made by consensus and the collective is open to anyone willing to put in the time and effort to fulfill collective entry requirements. A few staff members are paid for administrative tasks, fixing bikes for sale, and teaching classes. Regular volunteers fix bikes that we give away and help during Open Shop.
