CMYC celebrates Scottish culture with International Movies at Midtown Series
CARMEL, IN – Enjoy outdoor movies in Carmel with a foreign flare at International Movies at Midtown Plaza, hosted by the Carmel Mayor’s Youth Council (CMYC) on Thursday, August 26 at 6:30 p.m.
The international film series, launched in 2020, presents this month’s showing of Disney’s Brave. This film, about a young princess named Merida whose defiance of old traditions leads to a journey in which she discovers the genuine meaning of courage, serves to be beneficial in educating the Carmel community on Scottish culture.
The CMYC film series initiative began as an opportunity for the Carmel community to view films they might not normally see. “Not only are these films entertaining but they also serve as an educational tool,” said CMYC member Tsion Daniel. “Perhaps this can promote cross-cultural dialogue and awareness in our increasingly diverse city.”
The Carmel Mayor’s Youth Council is a completely youth-led organization comprised of high school students who wish to make a tangible impact on the City of Carmel. The CMYC is an initiative started by Carmel Mayor Jim Brainard to empower the youth community. Throughout each term, members organize charitable events, participate in numerous volunteering initiatives, as well as stay involved in local government.
