Bless the Beasts and Children - Centennial Collection Screening Series

All Stanley Kramer film screenings are presented courtesy of Karen Sharpe-Kramer, Katharine "Kat" Kramer and The Stanley Kramer Library. A portion of every ticket sold will go to support The Stanley Kramer Foundation.

Bless the Beasts and Children is a 1971 film adaptation of the novel of the same name, by Glendon Swarthout, that was directed by Stanley Kramer, featuring Bill Mumy and Barry Robins.

The story follows a group of six teenaged boys, who share a cabin at a residential summer camp in the western mountains. Each of the boys is a misfit in one way or another; the group is ostracized by the other boys at the camp, and form a bond based, in part, on this broader social isolation. After being taken on a field trip to see a herd of bison selected for culling by local hunters, the boys resolve to sneak away from the camp and set the penned bison free.

The film is presented partially out of sequence; the primary narrative of freeing the bison is interspersed with flashback scenes showing the boys' troubled lives both at the camp, and at their homes.

This film is part of the Stanley Kramer Centennial Collection with special screenings of the following films: The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T; The Wild One; High Noon; The Defiant Ones; On The Beach; The Men; Bless The Beasts and The Children; Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World; Members of the Wedding; Valentine's Weekend Encore Screening of Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.
