Bisbee '17 -- Disturbing Documentary Screening in Los Angeles
 Armed men go house to house rousing people from sleep, dragging them and hundreds of others to cattle cars where they are jammed in to be deported to an unknown destination.
No, this is not Nazi Germany. This is the United States of America - and this really happened on July 12, 1917 in the border town of Bisbee, Arizona.
One hundred years later, the town commemorates this mind-boggling act on July 12, 2017 - documented by filmmaker Robert Greene. The film BISBEE '17 raises important questions and leaves the viewer even more inquisitive and wanting to find more meaning and answers. We'll be sitting down with Robert Greene to talk about the film and its meaning in these times.
The film will open Friday, September 28 here in Los Angeles at the Laemmle Monica and the Laemmle Pasadena Playhouse. |
