[October 31, 2013]  "Dare to Dream: The Story of the U.S. Women's Soccer Team," an HBO presentation chronicling the lives of the 2004 Olympic championship team, will be shown at Lincoln Christian University on Friday at 7:30 p.m. in Dowling Auditorium at Restoration Hall.

The film narrator, actor Liev Schreiber, says of the championship U.S. women's team: "They found opportunities where there had been none and created a new nation of fans."

The presentation is free and open to the public.

The film is part of the Jessie C. Eury Library's new "Global Perspective on Women in Society" collection, made possible by a $5,000 Illinois State Library "Back to Books" grant received earlier this year.

Funding for the "Back to Books" grant was awarded by the U.S. Institute of Museum and Library Services to the Secretary of State/Illinois State Library under the provisions of the Library Services and Technology Act.
