FRIDAY
Long Walk screening
The Central Arkansas Library System will host a Veterans Day, opening-night screening of the movie Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk, the story of a 19-year-old soldier (played by Joe Alwyn) on temporary home leave from Iraq and what actually happened to him and his squad in a harrowing battle, 7 p.m. Friday at the Riverdale VIP Cinema, 2600 Cantrell Road, Little Rock.
The film is directed by Ang Lee and also stars Kristen Stewart, Vin Diesel, Steve Martin and Chris Tucker.
The screening is part of the library's Fiction & Fact: A War Dialogue With Veterans project.

Admission is free and open to the public; a limited number of tickets are available for reservation at the website, cals.org.
