As part of the Baldwin Circles project, the Humanities Council and the University Center for Human Values Film Forum present a film screening of the newly restored documentary “I Heard It Through the Grapevine,” followed by a conversation with co-director and co-producer Pat Hartley.

“I Heard It Through the Grapevine,” co-directed by Pat Hartley and Dick Fontaine, follows James Baldwin as he retraces the history of the Civil Rights Movements after two decades. The film offers a window into the past, as Baldwin makes his way through the American South to listen to the reflections of close friends and central figures of the movement.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Pat Hartley in conversation with Carolyn Rouse, Ritter Professor of Anthropology. Introduction by Esther Schor, chair of the Humanities Council and John J.F. Sherrerd ’52, University Professor. Moderated by Erika Kiss, professional specialist in the University Center for Human Values (UCHV) and director of the UCHV Film Forum.
