Movie - Rivals of Amziah King
"The Rivals of Amziah King" plays Sunday at 4 and 7 p.m. at ISU's Bengal Theater.

When his estranged foster daughter unexpectedly returns, he leaps at the possibility to renew connection and create a family business. But the honey game is ruthless and Amziah's rivals threaten to destroy everything he has built. Tribune News calls it, "A rollicking, bluegrass-fueled, honey-tinged slice of quirky Southern pulp; a wild yarn that becomes a rural crime drama with a heart of gold," while The Australian adds, "It’s so alive, confident, boisterous; such a rich evocation of a tight-knit, small-town community." Admission is Free for ISU students, $2 for ISU staff and $3 for the public. For trailer and more information, go to www.isucinema.com/rivals.
