Tiny Abolitionist Film Festival—JUNE 13, 2023
Culture 4 A Cause will partner with the Swiss nonprofit Art in History and Politics to host a “Tiny Abolitionist Film Festival” in Torrington, CT.
The tiny festival will screen and discuss two documentary films, Songs of Slavery and Emancipation and His Truth Is Marching On, on June 13, 2023.
The films explore abolition, equality, music, and American history. The event also includes speakers and live music.
"We are excited to pair our recent documentary with "Songs of Slavery And Emancipation" to create this tiny film festival in John Brown's hometown. Truth and history are under attack all over the country, and we believe it is critical to promote truth in history through award-winning documentary films,”
Daniel Morrison, producer of His Truth Is Marching On.
“One film uncovers many songs that people have buried over time; the other celebrates a single song that was also buried in history. They both celebrate the melting pot roots of American music."
The Tiny Abolitionist Film Festival runs from 8:00 - 10:00 pm on Tuesday, June 13, 2023.
In addition to the films, the festival will include a video presentation to the festival from Dr. Manisha Sinha, Chair of American History at UCONN, and Torrington Historical Society Executive Director Mark McEachern.
A VIP event will precede the festival at The Torrington Historical Society starting at 6:30 pm, where you can meet and greet the filmmakers, featured musicians, and Mr. McEachern.
