The family drama “Big Miracle” starring Drew Barrymore, John Krasinski and Ted Danson will be screened at three DeKalb Public Library branches this month as part of the New Movie Series.

The 2012 film, which is rated PG-13, follows a news reporter (Krasinski) in small-town Alaska as he recruits his ex-girlfriend (Barrymore) – a Greenpeace volunteer – on a campaign to save a family of gray whales trapped by rapidly forming ice in the Arctic Circle. They are joined by a native Alaskan boy (Ahmaogak Sweeney) as they rally an entire community and eventually rival world superpowers to save the majestic gray whales.

Danson plays J.W. McGraw, a wealthy businessman whose company has won the rights to drill for oil in the Arctic.
