Encore: Senator Obama Goes to Africa

By Rob Christopher in Arts & Entertainment on Mar 28, 2008 4:45PM

Obama in Africa Bob Hercules' documentary Senator Obama Goes to Africa screened in Chicago back in February at the Music Box and, of course, sold out. But if you can get to Skokie the weekend after next you'll have another chance to see what the fuss is about (as if you don't already know). The Skokie Theatre will run the film on Saturday, April 5, at 8 p.m. and again on Sunday at 2 p.m.

So why are we telling you about this now? Because our friends at After Hours Video in Evanston are offering $5 advance tickets. Just call, stop in or drop them an email before Tuesday (or until tickets run out). They've even told us they "can coordinate transportation if someone needs a ride to the theatre." Take that, Netflix!

After Hours Movie Rentals is at 833 Foster in Evanston, right off the purple line Foster stop.
