Marquette – The film “1913 Massacre” and an opportunity to meet the film’s producer and directors will be offered on Monday, June 24 at 7 p.m. in the Community Room of the Peter White Public Library.
“1913 Massacre” is subtitled “A Film Inspired by a Woody Guthrie Song” and follows singer/songwriter Arlo Guthrie to the town of Calumet, a once-thriving mining town on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula still haunted by the tragic events that inspired Woody Guthrie’s ballad.
The film captures the last living witnesses of the 1913 tragedy, reconstructs Calumet’s past from individual memories, family legends and songs, and traces the legacy of the Italian Hall disaster to the present day.
Co-producers/directors, Louis V. Galdieri and Ken Ross, will lead a question and answer session after the screening of the film. A DVD sale and signing opportunity will follow the program. There is no admission charge. For more information call the Peter White Public Library at 226-4318 or visit www.pwpl.info.
