Faith & Film Series - "Pieces of April"

Faith & Film presents Pieces of April

In this heartfelt and quietly humorous story, a young woman named April invites her estranged family to her small New York apartment for Thanksgiving dinner — hoping for a fresh start, even as everything that could go wrong, does. As the day unfolds, Pieces of April reveals how grace can show up in the most unexpected places: a cramped kitchen, a chance encounter, a simple act of kindness. It’s a moving reflection on forgiveness, family, and the redemptive power of love — perfect for the season of gratitude.

Arguably, the greatest Thanksgiving movie of all time.

PG-13 (2003), Comedy/drama, 80 min, directed by Peter Hedges

About the Faith & Film series:

In this series we will examine the potent and relevant medium of film in exploring themes of love, faith, conscience, evil, death, reception, grace, morality, identity, and our yearning for the sacred. Each month we will view a different film––each unique, compelling, and demanding––reflecting our current times. Each film is curated by those who love this artistic medium and will host a conversation following our viewing. Co-sponsored by First Presbyterian Church of Berkeley and New College Berkeley.
