"Big Enough, Small Enough - South Bend in Transition" - A Documentary by South Bend Filmmakers Ryan Blaske and Zach Schrank (Made in the fall of 2019, released February 2020)

"South Bend is in the midst of its most dramatic shift since the collapse of Studebaker in 1963. Today, it is at a turning point and still trying to find its footing. Big Enough, Small Enough is a set of conversations with people around South Bend that captures how residents are experiencing its changes, embracing its new life and confronting its enduring problems – all as the mayor, Pete Buttigieg, ran for president."

Posters from the Directors will be available for purchase. The auditorium has a 250 seat capacity. Seating is on a first-come, first serve basis. Doors will open at 6:45 PM for the Friday showing and 1:45 for the Saturday showing. For the Friday showing, you will need to enter and exit the east Auditorium entrance off of S. Michigan St. (map) due to the rest of the building being closed.
