The Lincoln Library Film Society presents “Waking the Dead” (2000, rated R) on Thursday, Nov. 21 at 6 p.m. in the Tarbell Room. When one man’s ‘70s idealism confronts his ‘80s aspirations, he begins an emotional rollercoaster that brings ghosts back to life and the ultimate question: does love conquer all, even death?
