"Sister Cities" premiered in NYC and LA theatres and now is a part of the Lifetime Television Movie Network [A&E Network]. This film was directed by Sean Hanish and it was based upon the internationally-acclaimed 2006 play of the same name by Colette Freedman, who also wrote the movie script. The film stars Stana Katic, Troian Bellisario, Michelle Trachtenberg, Jess Weixler, Jacki Weaver, Alfred Molina, Amy Smart and Tom Everett Scott. This ‘Cannonball Productions’ movie is about 4 sisters who come together to mourn what they believe is the suicide of their mother - but there’s more to the story. Tonight, after a bit of news, we'll spend the entire STR Round Table talking about this unique dramatic film. "Excellent Elena" will be our facilitator and we hope you'll be able to join in on the discussion. You can join the conversation via skype or our call in number (347) 857-4368.
