Film: 'Stranger than Fiction'
Augustana Leaders in Vocational Exploration (ALIVE) will show the film "Stranger than Fiction," starring Will Ferrell.

The 2006 fantasy comedy-drama stars Ferrell, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Dustin Hoffman, Queen Latifah, and Emma Thompson. Harold Crick (Ferrell) begins hearing a voice narrating his life – seemingly the text of a novel in which it is stated that he, the main character, will soon die – and he frantically seeks to somehow prevent that ending.
