Marquette – Documentary film fans and local history buffs are invited to view the film “1913 Massacre” and meet the film’s producer/director on Monday, December 7 at 7 p.m. in the Community Room of the Peter White Public Library.
Subtitled “A Film Inspired by a Woody Guthrie Song”,”1913 Massacre” follows Woody Guthrie’s son, 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.
There is no admission charge to attend. For more information visit www.pwpl.info or call 226-4318.
