A screening and discussion with film collaborator Professor Robert Forrant
From the 1830s through the Civil War, many Lowellians from all walks of life engaged in concerted efforts to block the expansion of slavery and helped freedom seekers even when this meant defying federal law. “A Contradictory Place” offers viewers a way to learn about an important, but too often neglected, chapter of our history. The forty-minute film was written by Robert Forrant and Maritza Grooms, produced by former Lowell Telecommunications Executive Director Wendy Blom, and edited by former Lowell Telecommunications News Director Caroline Gallagher.
