Strong!
Cheryl Haworth is a young woman with a big dream: to be the strongest woman in the world. As the 300-pound U.S. Olympic weightlifter prepares for Beijing 2008, she struggles with injury, confidence, and her place in a world where larger women are not readily accepted. Cheryl Haworth and Director Julie Wyman will attend the screening for an audience Q & A after the film.

Rice Cinema, Entrance # 8 - University Blvd at Stockton
Parking at Rice
Visitor parking is available in the Greenbriar Lot, where the stadium is located, for $1 per day. A campus shuttle is available and runs from the Greenbriar/West Lot every 5-8 minutes.
Visitor parking within walking distance to Rice Cinema is also available at West Lots #1 and #5 at a rate of $1 per 20 minutes.
Parking Payment
Machines at the entrance gates will instruct you to insert a credit card (American Express, VISA, MasterCard or Discover). When the gate opens and the vehicle enters, the computer's "parking meter" begins. Upon leaving, you drive to the exit gate and insert the same credit card. It is very important to use the same credit card used at entry while exiting, otherwise the computer will not recognize the card. The gate will open within a few seconds, at which time the meter stops. The computer calculates the time, checks for fee approval and automatically bills the credit card.
*Please do not park in the 15 minute parking spaces in front of the theater.
