KATHMANDU: The Wizard of Oz will be screened as part of the American Movie Month at the American Library on March 23 at 9:00 am sharp. The film’s plot is easily condensed: lonely and sad Kansas farmgirl Dorothy dreams of a better place, without torment against her dog Toto from a hateful neighbour spinster, so she plans to run away. During a fierce tornado, she is struck on the head and transported to a land ‘beyond the rainbow’ where she meets magical characters from her Kansas life transformed within her unconscious dream state. After travels down a Yellow Brick Road to the Land of Oz, and the defeat of the Wicked Witch of the West, Dorothy and her friends are rewarded by the Wizard of Oz with their hearts’ desires — and Dorothy is enabled to return home to Kansas.
