About the event

Free Screening of "Matewan"
Join us for a free screening of "Matewan" (1987) directed by John Sayles with a conversation and performance with folklorist and "Matewan" fiddler Gerry Milnes to follow.

"Matewan" portrays the historic 1920 coal miners' strike in southern West Virginia and features the shared culture of Appalachian resilience that was forged in the mountains.

Following the film Gerry Milnes will discuss his involvement with Matewan and the role of Old Time music in Appalachian heritage.

Free popcorn will be provided!
