The Carpenter Center, a partner of the Independent
Television Service, will host six free screenings of ITVS documentary films through
its Community Cinema project. We’ll offer guest speakers, information,
resources and other programming designed to enrich your experience with each
film. The films cover important social issues such as racism, homophobia, education,
climate change, freedom of religion, and women’s rights.
Medora, Indiana is a once-booming community beset
by a crippled economy and a dwindling population. This documentary follows the
town’s down-but-not-out varsity basketball team over a season, capturing the
players’ stories on and off the court—as the team’s struggle to compete
parallels the town’s fight for survival.
