Indie Lens Pop-Up Free Screening: BIKE VESSEL

Please join us for a free screening of the Independent Lens film, BIKE VESSEL.  The Greater Port Jefferson - Northern Brookhaven Arts Council is partnering with ITVS (a production arm of PBS) to present the Indie Lens Pop-Up screening program.  BIKE VESSEL is the first of five free films followed by impactful discussions.

BIKE VESSEL: Knowing his dad miraculously recovered from three open-heart surgeries after discovering a passion for cycling, filmmaker Eric D. Seals proposes an ambitious idea: Bike together from St. Louis to Chicago. 350 miles. 4 days. On their journey, the two push each other as they find a deeper connection and a renewed appreciation of their quests for their own health and to reimagine Black health.

The film runs approximately 60 minutes followed by a discussion with Dr. Rohan Perera, Cardiologist, Mather Medical Group; Cynthia Brown, Executive Director, New York Coalition for Transportation Safety; and Nikki McGrath, Art & Communications Librarian, Port Jefferson Free Library.
