The free movie will screen at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday on upper Fort Street Mall, 1188 Fort Street Mall.

At 5 p.m., local radio station HOT 93.9 will play music and and Govindaji's on Fort Street Mall will provide vegetarian and vegan food for the event, sponsored by HPU's newly formed Vegetarian Club.

The club has partnered with the Center for Student Life and First-Year Programs to present a film intended to stimulate conversation within the HPU and island communities. "Supersize Me" is a documentary by filmmaker Morgan Spurlock who himself undertook a steady diet of McDonald's for 30 days; he won a best director award at the 2004 Sundance Film Festival for the film.
