Fellow Film Buffs, here is a description of our next movie:

Two Trains Runnin’
Documentary, Music NR  80 minutes
Tuesday July 31st at 7:30 pm

“Two Trains Runnin’” intermingles two completely unrelated non-fiction threads which converge in the state of Mississippi on June 21, 1964, One of them is triumphant, the other tragic.

One is a well-known story, the other is a mystery whose outcome is not so well-known. Both sections feature idealistic, college-aged White men from the North whose quests could not have been more different: One group came to the segregated South looking for musicians while the other sought justice. 

Hidden similarities emerge as “Two Trains Runnin’” rides towards its final destination.  This film will appeal to history buffs, particularly those interested in the civil rights movement, and people who enjoy the blues.
