The Friends of the Union Meeting Hall in Ferrisburgh will present a special screening of Jay Craven's award-winning 1997 film, "A STRANGER IN THE KINGDOM" 7pm, Saturday, February 15th at the Ferrisburgh Town Hall. Director Craven will introduce the film and lead a post-screen Q & A.
"A STRANGER IN THE KINGDOM" tells the story of a small Vermont town whose veneer of peace and tranquility is shattered when a black minister arrives as the town's new pastor and, soon after, finds himself charged with adultery and the murder of a French Canadian waif passing through town. Young rascal lawyer Charlie Kinneson, the local favorite son, tricks the young Canadian girl into town under false pretenses but he decides to defend the minister, placing himself at odds with family, friends, and a vanishing way of life. The film - and Mosher's novel - were inspired by the true events surrounding the infamous 1968 "Irasburg Affair."
