The College of Health presents a free screening of "Love & Mercy," a biographical drama about musician-songwriter Brian Wilson, co-founder of the Beach Boys. Using a parallel narrative, the film highlights two distinct periods in his life: the 1960s, during which Wilson struggles with emerging psychosis as he attempts to craft his avant-garde pop masterpiece; and the 1980s, when he is a broken, confused man under the 24-hour watch of shady therapist Dr. Eugene Landy.
Free popcorn. Open to all UAA students. Presented by the UAA College of Health.
