America: Failure at 250 (a documentary by Jon Scott Bennett)
June 2 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Join filmmaker and local historian Jon Scott Bennett for the debut of his new film, followed by a Q&A.
About the film:
The 250th Anniversary of our nation’s founding is a failure. Discussions on our history have been, at best, vacuous and are, at worst, propagandistic. Even the most well-intended reflections of Revolutionary War history have been muted and sanitized, an indication that the most emblematic element of this year is the elephant that now lives in every room in America. Is there anything worth commemorating when we cannot honestly look at our past? This video essay investigates the Americas failures to meaningfully examine our nation’s history during the 250th anniversary.
