Event Description:
Join us for a fascinating book and film discussion with Dr. Will Thomas, Michael Burton, and Dr. Kwakiutl Dreher as they share their collaborative process in making the short film Anna and the upcoming documentary The Bell Affair. These film projects connect to Thomas’ recent book, A Question of Freedom: The Families Who Challenged Slavery from the Nation’s Founding to the Civil War, an award-winning account of the legal strategies used by enslaved people to gain freedom from slave holders. This talk will bring to life many intersections between history and its artistic and literary portrayals, a pursuit Willa Cather herself valued and carried out in her own work.
