Free community movies at Center Theatre

DOVER-FOXCROFT — “Being Mortal,” a Frontline documentary based on Atul Gawande’s bestselling book, will be shown on Sept. 22 at 6 p.m. at the Center Theatre. “Being Mortal” is a moving look at how aging and death are viewed by society and handled by the medical profession.

“Still Alice,” an Academy Award-winning screen adaptation of Lisa Genova’s New York Times bestseller, will also be shown at the Theatre on Oct. 18 at 6 p.m. “Still Alice” is the story of how a diagnosis of early-onset Alzheimer’s disease changes the life of a Harvard professor with a successful husband and three grown children.

Optional discussion following both viewings will be facilitated by Skip Curtis of Beacon Hospice and Lisa Joy White of Pine Tree Hospice.

Both of these movies will be shown free of charge and are open to the public. Snacks will be available for attendees at no charge as well.
