9:15 AM - 12:30 PM
America/New_York
AMC Empire 25, 234 West 42nd Street, New York, NY 10036

Join ISSO for a summer movie event! Stay cool in the hot weather as we meet in Times Square to watch the live action adaptation of Disney's Moana.

Prompted by a summons from the ocean, Moana departs her home island of Motunui for the first time and travels past its barrier reef. Accompanied by the demigod Maui, she undertakes a voyage aimed at recovering the well-being of her community.

To assist the language learners in our community, this movie will be shown with English subtitles!
