Black Lives Matter of Columbus will host a free screening of a horror film, “Get Out,” at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Columbus Learning Center, 4555 Central Ave.
“Get Out” follows a young, interracial couple who visit the mysterious estate of the woman’s parents.
The showing will be restricted to viewers 17 and and older due to the film’s R rating and mature content. However, the discussion following the film is open to all ages.
