Marquette – The Building Hope in Uncertain Times series will offer a screening of the documentary film “Keep On Keepin’ On” on Monday, April 18 at 7 p.m. in the Community Room of the Peter White Public Library.
The film depicts the friendship of music legend and teacher Clark Terry, 89 and Justin Kauflin, a 23-year-old, blind piano prodigy. Kauflin, who suffers from debilitating stage fright, is invited to compete in an elite Jazz competition, just as Terry’s health takes a turn for the worse. As the clock ticks, we see two friends confront the toughest challenges of their lives.
Shot over the course of five years, “Keep On Keepin’ On” is crafted with great affection by first time filmmaker Al Hicks, who is a drummer and former student of Terry’s. A multiple film festival award winner, the 2014 documentary is rated R, for language, and runs for 84 minutes.
There is no admission charge. For more information, go to www.pwpl.info or call 226-4318.
