A word from our sponsor

_{Here’s what makes it a total game changer:}💥 _{10 billion CFUs + 12 uniquely chosen strains = A formula that works fast and gets results you can feel.} 💫 _{Enhances Gut Microbiome Diversity: Think of this as your internal ecosystem. When it’s thriving, so are you. It boosts energy, improves nutrient absorption, and helps every cell in your body function at its best.} 🧠 _{Supports the Gut-Brain Axis: These little strains actually talk to your brain—helping improve focus, mood, memory, and emotional balance.} 🌿 _{Combats Stress: By regulating cortisol and reducing inflammation, it helps bring your body back into a calm, grounded state so you can handle life like the fierce human you are.} 📈 _{And the best part? It’s not just hype. This formula was studied for years before launch, and we know you’ll feel the difference.}

🚶 The World Before Your Feet

There are 8,000 miles of roads and paths in New York City and for the past six years Matt Green has been walking them all – every street, park, cemetery, beach, and bridge. It's a five-borough journey that stretches from the barbershops of the Bronx to the forests of Staten Island, from the Statue of Liberty to Times Square, with Matt amassing a surprisingly detailed knowledge of New York's history and people along the way.

Something of a modern-day Thoreau, Matt gave up his former engineering job, his apartment, and most of his possessions, sustaining his endeavor through couch-surfing, cat-sitting and a $10-per-day budget. He’s not sure exactly why he’s doing it, only knowing that there’s no other way he’d rather spend his days. Executive produced by Oscar® nominee Jesse Eisenberg, THE WORLD BEFORE YOUR FEET is a tribute to an endlessly fascinating city and the freedom to be found, wherever you live, in simply taking a walk.

Following this screening, we will hold a Q&A with star of the film, Matt Green, and conclude with our own walk around the local area in the spirit of the film. Tickets $20

• Date: Saturday, July 26th | 1p

• Place: Assembly Theater | 26 East Ave, Burrillville

His books will be available for purchase in-store on the day of the event.
