Fresh Docs Film Screening: "27 Months"

On September 26, the Center for Documentary Studies and the Southern Documentary Fund will present a free screening of director Ashley Tindall's feature film on the experiences of three Peace Corps volunteers as part of the Fresh Docs series, which features documentary works-in-progress. Following screenings, SDF director Rachel Raney moderates a conversation with the filmmaker in which the audience participates, providing valuable feedback. "27 Months" follows three American Peace Corps volunteers into remote communities in Liberia, Azerbaijan, and the Philippines as they set off to change the world. For twenty-seven months Andy, Marcy, and Kate seek common ground and friendships with the locals, but find themselves isolated in communities that seem to think in alien ways. Human connection and self-realization seems anything but certain. Will they make the change they had planned to make, or are they the ones who will have to change?This event is co-sponsored by the Southern Documentary Fund.
