Life of Pi
https://exploringyourmind.com/
Life of Pi

  Imagination is very powerful. It allows our minds to create things beyond the events that happen to us on a day-to-day basis.  Life of Pi is a novel by Yann Martel about Pi, a young man who must face a life or death situation. Pi manages to survive thanks to his imagination. We'll hear the music from this film and other mind-bending films on July 24th at 10am and 6pm.
