The Independent Picture House, in partnership with Petty Thieves Brewing, is presenting a free outdoor screening of “The Straight Story” on Friday, June 20, 2025, at 8:45 p.m. The screening will take place on the lawn next to Independent Picture House, 4237 Raleigh Street, Charlotte, North Carolina.
Bring a blanket or lawn chair.
A retired farmer and widower in his 70s, Alvin Straight learns one day that his distant brother Lyle has suffered a stroke and may not recover. Alvin is determined to make things right with Lyle while he still can, but his brother lives in Wisconsin, while Alvin is stuck in Iowa with no car and no driver’s license. Then he hits on the idea of making the trip on his old lawnmower, thus beginning a picturesque and at times deeply spiritual odyssey.
