On Friday, May 29th Rock yer Socks in collaboration with the Charter Oak Cultural Center will host an indie smorgasboard- indie film, indie music, and indie ideology. The evening begins at 8pm with a screening of the film, “Seeing Through the Fence” (run time: 1 hour), followed by three musical acts: Mother Nevada (NJ), The Kilee (CT), and Beloved Binge (NC). The film screening/concert will be held at the Charter Oak Cultural Center and the cost is $6 or only $5 with the donation of a vegetarian canned good.

The film, created by Beloved Binge drummer Eleni Vlachos (or Eleni Binge) is a humorous pro-vegan documentary. According to Mary Jessica Hammes of the Athens-Banner Herald, “Seeing Through the Fence accomplishes an impressive feat: It’s a documentary about animals, food and veganism that will not only appeal to omnivores, but actually is quite often funny. It’s not dour and earnest; it’s poignant and warm…” Wikipedia defines veganism as a diet and lifestyle that seeks to exclude the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose. As part of their year long tour, Beloved Binge has been playing music and screening this film at various venues, including universities and D.I.Y. spaces, and receiving a very warm welcome.
