TV ACADEMY SCREENING FOR FEBRUARY

EIGHT BELOW

7:30 PM
Webster Place Theatre, 1471 West Webster, Chicago

Inspired by a true story, EIGHT BELOW is an exciting action-adventure about loyalty and the bonds of friendship set in the extreme wilderness of Antarctica. The film tells the story of three members of a scientific expedition: Jerry Shepard (PAUL WALKER), his best friend, Cooper (JASON BIGGS), and a rugged American geologist (BRUCE GREENWOOD), who are forced to leave behind their team of beloved sled dogs due to a sudden accident and perilous weather conditions in Antarctica. During the harsh, Antarctic winter, the dogs must struggle for survival alone in the intense frozen wilderness for over 6 months. The film is inspired by the events of a 1957 Japanese Antarctic Expedition, which served as the basis for the blockbuster Japanese film, “Nankyoku Monogatari” (“Antarctica”).

As seating is on a first come, first served basis, your early arrival is suggested. No one will be admitted once theater capacity is reached.

TV Academy members will receive a pass in the mail that will admit you and a guest.
