Both screening series, Movies Under the Stars at the State Capitol and Rock Docs at Pioneer Park, will be free and open to the public. All movies will start at dusk.
"The tradition of sitting on a blanket in a park with our neighbors on a beautiful summer night represents Kennecott's sustainable development vision by actively participating with our local community," said Kelly Sanders, president and CEO of Kennecott.
