Join us for a film screening of the 1985 documentary “Sherman’s March,” the third and final event in a film series exploring the South over time. This event will take place at the Contemporary Arts Center, located across the street from the Ogden Museum at 900 Camp Street. “Sherman’s March” sets out to follow General William T. Sherman’s infamous scorched-earth march through the Confederacy in the latter stages of the Civil War, but ends up finding something else. Time Out New York recently listed the film under their 51 Best Documentaries of All Time and said, “This strikingly perceptive doc is so intimate, it hurts.”

This event is free and open to the public, thanks to the generous support of The Helis Foundation. Limited seating is available on a first come, first seated basis.
