More about our September pick: Sully

Whether or not you're joining other Movie Club members next Tuesday to see Sully, you might enjoy this interview with the real Captain Chesley Sullenberger, who performed the "Miracle on the Hudson" by landing his disabled airliner on the river in 2009.

Toronto Star film critic Peter Howell, who did the interview, also made this intriguing remark about what underlies the drama that happened after the safe landing and survival of all aboard the plane: "What emerges from Sully is unexpected yet cogent comment on society's growing reliance on machinery over human knowledge, experience and adaptability."
