Author and Activist: The Daniela Gioseffi Story
Refreshments, Reception Preview Screening, Talk.
Author and Activist: The Daniela Gioseffi Story portrays a life-affirming struggle to make art of civil rights, democratic equality and climate justice. Produced and directed by Anton Evangelista, the docu-drama tells of the creative life of a multi-media artist, inspired by a tenacious immigrant father, to become an author who dares to integrate Deep South television in Selma during the era of the "Freedom Riders."

The film, covering years of recent American history, has a conclusion that warms the heart and inspires others to "light a candle rather than curse the darkness." More information and film clips at:
