Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1 (feature film)
Thursday, Jan 2, 2025, 2:00pm to 5:00pm
Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1
Directed by Kevin Costner. Performances by Kevin Costner, Sienna Miller, Sam Worthington. New Line Cinema, 2024. 180 min. Rated R. Epic Western.
In the great tradition of Warner Bros. Pictures’ iconic Westerns, “Horizon: An American Saga” explores the lure of the Old West and how it was won—and lost—through the blood, sweat and tears of many. Spanning the four years of the Civil War, from 1861 to 1865, Costner’s ambitious cinematic adventure will take audiences on an emotional journey across a country at war with itself, experienced through the lens of families, friends and foes all attempting to discover what it truly means to be the United States of America.

Book Discussion of UW-Madison's Go Big Read "Sitting Pretty"
Thursday, Jan 2, 2025, 6:30pm to 7:30pm
2024 – 2025 Go Big Read Sitting Pretty: The View from My Ordinary Resilient Disabled Body By Rebekah Taussig
Summary: Growing up as a paralyzed girl during the 90s and early 2000s, Rebekah Taussig only saw disability depicted as something monstrous (The Hunchback of Notre Dame), inspirational (Helen Keller), or angelic (Forrest Gump). None of this felt right; and as she got older, she longed for more stories that allowed disability to be complex and ordinary, uncomfortable and fine, painful and fulfilling.
Writing about the rhythms and textures of what it means to live in a body that doesn’t fit, Rebekah reflects on everything from the complications of kindness and charity, living both independently and dependently, experiencing intimacy, and how the pervasiveness of ableism in our everyday media directly translates to everyday life.
Disability affects all of us, directly or indirectly, at one point or another. By exploring this truth in poignant and lyrical essays, Taussig illustrates the need for more stories and more voices to understand the diversity of humanity. Sitting Pretty challenges us as a society to be patient and vigilant, practical and imaginative, kind and relentless, as we set to work to write an entirely different story.
In collaboration with the UW Go Big Read Program. Newcomers welcome!
