Sensory Friendly Family Movie hosted by Seekonk Library Youth Services


Playing with Fire (Movie with John Cena)

When firefighters rescue three siblings in the path of a wildfire, they realize no amount of training could have prepared them for their most challenging job yet- babysitting. While trying to locate the children's parents, the firefighters have their lives, jobs, and even their fire station turned upside down and learn that kids-much like fires-are wild and full of surprises.

The event will include sensory-friendly features such as lights up, sound down, relaxed rules, available fidget toys, and subtitles. Everyone is invited to this all-inclusive, welcoming, movie event.

Rated PG. Run time 1 hour 36 minutes.

Saturday, March 28, 2020 at 10 AM – 11:45 AM
