The Nutley Public Library is pleased to welcome back ECLAP-funded, Emmy-nominated, award-winning filmmakers Marylou and Jerome Bongiorno at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 1.

The duo, who speak at global and local venues, will screen and discuss RUST. No registration is required. For additional information please visit the Upcoming Events calendar at nutleypubliclibrary.org.

RUST (Documentary, 2021, 86 min.) RUST is the third documentary in Marylou & Jerome Bongiorno’s 3Rs Trilogy on Urban America, following the success of critically acclaimed, award-winning, national PBS broadcast REVOLUTION ’67 (2007) on riots/rebellions of the 1960s and THE RULE (2014) on urban school reform. RUST presents the history of Rust Belt poverty, detailing industrialization and deindustrialization, racism and mass incarceration, using the city of Newark, New Jersey as a microcosm. It explores solutions to inner city poverty through the voices of scholars, economists, physicians, activists, and the community. The filmmakers will lead then a lively discussion addressing questions about the filmmaking process and their process in documenting social justice issues.

This program is made possible in part by funds from the New Jersey State Council on the Arts / Department of State, a Partner Agency of the National Endowment for the Arts and administered by the Essex County Division of Cultural and Historic Affairs.
