I saw a poster at the Charlotte Senior Center announcing that Vermont director Jay Craven will show his penultimate film Lost Nation at 7pm Friday, August 9, at the Ferrisburgh Town Hall on Route 7. Jay will be on hand for Q&A session after the screening of the film. Having always found his films captivating, I thought this event deserved a wider announcement.

After taking a sojourn from his early Vermont based and themed films to settings and events elsewhere, Jay now returns to Vermont to explore the actions of a mythic Vermont figure, Ethan Allen, and of a lesser known African- American Vermonter, Lucy Terry Prince, in their individual attempts to find freedom and a home in Vermont. Set in the turbulent times of the birth of our nation, and given Jay's track record, this promises to quite an engaging film.
