SUMMARY:ANGEL OF ALABAMA - OPENING NIGHT FILM AT BEYOND: THE CARY FILM FESTIVAL
DESCRIPTION:Brenda Hampton was born first of ten to a family in rural Alabama. Her mother taught her to think critically and always fight for justice\, so she left for Boston to become an investigator.

With her expertise and passion for justice\, she identified the source of massive environmental contamination in Alabama. Her years of work have led to a permanent water solution for her community. Her efforts have even pushed international progress including a policy change by the largest fast-food company in the world: McDonalds. \nThere will be a post-screening conversation with Elijah Yetter-Bowman (Director)\, Brenda Hampton (Subject of the Film)\, Ryke Longest (Director of the Environmental Law and Policy Clinic at Duke University)\, and Emily Sutton (Haw Riverkeeper at the Haw River Assembly). \nJoin us for a reception at BREW Coffee Bar immediately following this event. \nThank you North Carolina Humanities for supporting this screening.  \nFor assistance with accessible seating at The Cary Theater please contact the general box office at 919-462-2055\, and/or reach out to the House Manager beginning one hour prior to the screening or performance. \n			\n						BUY TICKETS\n					 \nABOUT BEYOND: THE CARY FILM FESTIVALEach fall in the heart of the North Carolina\, the Town of Cary hosts its annual short film and screenplay festival presented at the historic Cary Theater.
