COLUMBUS, Ind. – The University Library at IUPUC will host a screening of the 40-minute, mini-documentary film “Crossroads Stories,” this Thursday, April 21, at 3:30 p.m. It will be held in the lecture hall at the Columbus Learning Center as part of a program titled, “Communities at a Crossroads,” which examines race in small-town America.
The film was written and produced by Columbus native Alyse Tucker Bounds, who will answer questions after the screening. The event is free and open to the public.
“Crossroads Stories” explores the intersection of race and Midwest living, through a series of interviews with community members in Columbus, who tell an emotional yet hopeful story of what it is like to be Black in predominantly White spaces.”
The film, which aims to start the conversation about race in small towns and how we can continue to make our cities better, safer places for everyone, has received acclaim after showings at the Amplify Film Festival, NAACP Bartholomew County’s Juneteenth Celebration, and the Heartland Film Festival.
