As the Civil Rights Movement sweeps the nation, Pittsburgh's Hill District undergoes a transformation. It's 1969, and Memphis Lee's diner is slated to be demolished, a casualty of urban renewal. While he fights city hall for a fair price, Memphis and his customers gather daily to gossip, confront the realities of their lives and dream of the future. Described by Variety as "a work by a writer at the peak of his powers," Two Trains Running revisits a time of extraordinary change and the ordinary people left behind. Recommended for high school and up.
