Featuring Intro from Andrew Haigh (Director of Weekend, 45 Years, All of Us Strangers).

When a young rabbit named Fiver (Richard Briers) has a prophetic vision that the end of his warren is near, he persuades seven other rabbits to leave with him in search of a new home. Several obstacles impede their progress, including predators, a rat-filled cemetery and a speeding river. Upon arriving at their final destination, a hill dubbed Watership Down, the rabbits find that their journey is still far from over. Realistically drawn, this British animated film carries an emotional weight.

BLEAK WEEK : CINEMA OF DESPAIR is co-presented by the American Cinematheque.
