The weekend will also see a screening of Them by award winning filmmaker Robin Lochmann. Them is set in a forgotten village, where everyone is cut from the same cloth, a new, self-proclaimed leader arrives changing the local way of life. Dividing lines are carved out as the once unified society is torn and segregated. The film examines misguided ideologies, destructive leadership, and what we have in common.
