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.

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.
