    Film Fatale
    Featuring a screening of
    STOKED: THE RISE AND FALL OF GATOR
    Center Friday, March 14, 2003, 7-10 PM
    $14 non-members
    $7 members
    $5 ages 20 and under

    Heres what the film is about. STOKED takes a trip to the "in your face" era of 80's youth culture, following Gators rise as an athlete and celebrity, and exploring the factors and dynamics that eventually led to tragedy. STOKED is an unfliching look of the mechanism of fame and its darker consequesnces in one man. Does that answer your questions? Didn't think so, I guess you'll have to go check it out for yourself.
