AAI Film Night: On the Waterfront

Join us at 7 pm at 14 Arrow St for a film viewing and discussion led by Kevin Hopkins (BU ‘26).

We will watch On the Waterfront, a 1954 film about a former boxer who struggles with his conscience after witnessing corruption and violence within a mob-controlled dockworkers' union. Produced against the backdrop of the infamous Red Scare, the film asks serious questions about family loyalty and what it means to be a man.
