An Evening with Rory Kennedy, Filmmaker and Social Activist. Parrish Auditorium, 7:30 PM. (Reception to follow)
“Rory Kennedy is one of the nation’s most prolific independent documentary filmmakers. Her impressive body of work tackles some of the most pressing social concerns –poverty, domestic abuse, drug addiction, human rights, AIDS, and mental illness. Her award winning films illuminate issues through the stories of everyday people, including American Hollow, which portrays the plight of an Appalachian family caught between century-old tradition and the modern world.”
