Baltimore, a city experiencing a large number of shootings, high murder rate and unrest, will be the subject of a documentary screening and panel discussion at the next MontanaPBS Indie Lens Pop-Up set for 7pm Tuesday, April 23rd, at Fork & Spoon Homestyle Kitchen, located at 302 N Seventh Ave.
Charm City, directed by filmmaker Marilyn Ness, was filmed during three years of unparalleled violence in Baltimore. It delivers a powerful and candid portrait of the police, citizens, community leaders and government officials who are on the front lines and trying to reclaim their city’s future.
The event is free, but registration is encouraged as seating is limited. A free dinner will be provided that evening courtesy of MontanaPBS. Following the screening there will be a panel discussion with members of the Bozeman community, who will speak about the specific challenges we face locally surrounding crime, victim advocacy and violence.
Indie Lens Pop-Up is a film series that brings people together for screenings and community-driven conversations. Featuring documentaries seen on the PBS series “Independent Lens,” Indie Lens Pop-Up draws local residents, leaders and organizations together to discuss issues ranging from newsworthy topics to family and relationships. MontanaPBS has been a partner with the event for its 2018-19 season.
