You’re invited to a special screening of a new documentary from POV called “Portraits and Dreams”.

Thirty-five years ago, photographer Wendy Ewald published the book, Portraits and Dreams: Photographs and Stories by Children of the Appalachians, a collaboration between her and her Letcher County students. She asked them to photograph the things closest to them, including their hopes and dreams. “It opened up a whole new way of making pictures for them,” she said.

In “Portraits and Dreams,” a new film from Appalshop, Ewald returns to Eastern Kentucky to visit her former students.

You’re invited to a virtual film screening on Thursday, September 17 at 7pm (6pm CT). We’ll have a special introduction from one of the film’s producers and a Q&A session following the film.

This event is free, but reservations are required:
