Please join WTIU for a sneak preview of the national release of “Freedom Riders” at the IU Cinema in Bloomington on Friday, April 1 at 7pm.
From award-winning filmmaker Stanley Nelson (The Murder of Emmett Till, Jonestown, Wounded Knee), Freedom Riders features testimony from a fascinating cast of central characters: the Riders themselves, state and federal government officials, and journalists who witnessed the rides firsthand. Based on Raymond Arsenault’s acclaimed book Freedom Riders: 1961 and the Struggle for Racial Justice, the two-hour documentary comes to WTIU on May 16 2011, marking the 50th anniversary of the historic rides.
Seating is limited. Please R.S.V.P. by Friday, March 25 so we may reserve your ticket for this special event. Call or E-mail Nancy Krueger at 812-855-2935 or nkrueger@indiana.edu
