THE ELEANOR ROOSEVELT STORY Time & Space Limited-
434 Columbia St. Hudson, NY 12534
3:30pm “The most moving biographical drama I have ever seen.” – The New York Times Awards (1965) An intimate and moving portrait of one of the most remarkable women in American history. It is the story of a lonely, unhappy child who became the most admired and respected woman in the world. Richard Kaplan’s lively documentary reveals the human face behind the American icon, beginning with the emotional deprivation suffered by this plain, awkward little girl born into a socially prominent and powerful family. Though she would eventually marry a man who would look beyond her awkwardness, Eleanor was not content to be the proper, silent wife to her husband Franklin’s extraordinary political career. Instead, she began a lifelong crusade to speak out about injustice and oppression in any form. 1965, 90 minutes. www.timeandspace.org
movie
SWEETGRASS Time & Space Limited-
434 Columbia St. Hudson, NY 12534
5:30pm A film by Ilisa Barbash and Lucien Castaing-Taylor (Made in China), Sweetgrass is an unsentimental elegy to the American West. Through its breathtaking sights we follow the last modern-day cowboys as they lead their flocks of sheep up into Montana’s stunning and often dangerous Absaroka-Beartooth mountains to find summer pasture. This astonishingly beautiful and unsparing film reveals a world in which nature and culture, animals and humans, and vulnerability and violence are intimately meshed together. A must-see – this movie got great reviews and is only showing in a few theaters across America! 2009. 101 minutes. www.timeandspace.org
