Saturday Night Fever instantly brings to mind stereotypical images of the 1970s -- bell bottoms, night clubs, partying. But it is also a classic story about making it in America and the struggle for social mobility. Participants will watch celebrated movies of the 1970s -- "Saturday Night Fever", "Taxi Driver," "All the President's Men" -- and talk about how they capture specific struggles of that decade as well as deeper dilemmas of American society.
