THIS EVENT IS SOLD-OUT.
Premise: an author tells a story and a songwriter shares a song written in response.
A fundraiser for FilmNorth, the show will feature a story from local filmmaker Ali Selim, a conversation about forgiveness with Dr. Emily Gaarder, Director of the University of Minnesota’s Center for Restorative Justice and Peacemaking, and a brand new song from Carla Kihlstedt. The recording will take place in the Bill Pohlad Cinema at FilmNorth.
