Woody Guthrie and the Ghost of Tom Joad Today, A Rivertown Film 25th Anniversary Event
Monday, June 15, 8 p.m., Nyack Center, 58 Depew Ave, Nyack
Every dollar earned tonight will go toward Rivertown Film’s newly established Cash Reserve Fund, and all of it will be matched by a generous gift from former board members Barrie Peterson and Bea Conner-Peterson.
This is the first preview anywhere for Greg Mitchell’s acclaimed new film, narrated by Rosanne Cash, Woody Guthrie and the Ghost of Tom Joad Today, with a song by Bruce Springsteen.
Mitchell will present over thirty minutes of excerpts from this timely film for the first time to a public audience and will lead a discussion with Woody’s granddaughter Anna Canoni, president of Woody Guthrie Publications, and Daniel Wolff, author of Grown-Up Anger: The Connected Mysteries of Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, and the Calumet Massacre of 1913.
A second world premiere, of a very short film Woody and Me, will feature tributes to Woody Guthrie from Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Mavis Staples and many others.
There will be musical guests as well, with Tom Chapin, The Chapin Sisters, and the All Together Now Chorus. And there will be a community singout on This Land Is Your Land—which some consider our real national anthem.
Woody Guthrie and the Ghost of Tom Joad will air over PBS stations later this summer.
