Johnson City: Screening of film “Hale County This Morning, This Evening”

March dawns with the South Arts Southern Circuit Tour documentary “Hale County This Morning, This Evening,” a film that director RaMell Ross calls “a lyrical innovation to the form of portraiture that boldly ruptures racist aesthetic frameworks.” Adapting author and screenwriter James Agee’s concept of organizing by light and mood, Ross follows the ordinary lives of his Deep South subjects through 11 days, from sunrise to sunset to sunrise again, as their lives progress through college and fatherhood. “Hale County” is free and screens Monday, March 4, at 7 p.m. in the Ball Hall auditorium.
