Theatre Near You

Movies transcend borders and bridge cultural barriers. They can ambush our emotions and take our breath away. While huge theater chains exhibit films in urban areas, there are still a few independent theater owners scattered across the land. Howard Pickerill started his career as an usher in Polson, Montana, and after 70 years has run a chain of small theatres with his wife, Ayron.
