THE LOVING STORY NOLF - Film Screenig & Discussion Ashé Cultural Arts Center 1712 Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard, New Orleans, LA 70113 6:00 pm Please join us for a free screening of THE LOVING STORY by Nancy Buirsky. A racially-charged criminal trial and a heart-rending love story converge in this documentary about Richard and Mildred Loving, set during the turbulent Civil Rights era. The Loving Story is a story of love and the struggle for dignity set against a backdrop of historic anti-miscegenation sentiments in the U.S. The Lovings, an interracial couple, fell in love and married at a critical time in American history, and, because of a confluence of social and political turmoil our reluctant heroes bring about change where previously no one else could. They are paired with two young and ambitious lawyers who are driven to pave the way for Civil Rights and social justice through an historic Supreme Court ruling, changing the country's story forever. (2011, 77 minutes) There will be a short discussion following the screening, facilitated by Dustin Ruttenberg and the artist ChÉ. ADMISSION FREE Presented by the New Orleans Loving Festival in partnership with Ashé Cultural Arts Center and New Orleans Indie Lens Pop Up.
