Wednesday, Aug 7 | LOST NATION | 7PM
Jay Craven's newest film, "Lost Nation," is a Revolutionary War era action drama set in the early upstart Republic of Vermont. The film stars Irish actor Kevin Ryan ("Copper," Harry Wild") as Vermont founding father and rebel schemer, Ethan Allen, who leads resistance to Yorker land claims, launches an ill-fated attack on British forces in Montreal, and leads invasions by his Green Mountain Boys into New York strongholds of Guilford and Brattleboro. At every turn, Allen navigates thick entanglements with allies, enemies, and family. "Lost Nation's" parallel story features Kenyan actress Eva Ndachi ("Beautifully Broken") as Lucy Terry Prince, whose poem, "Bars Fight," about the 1746 Deerfield Massacre, is the first known work of African American literature.
