Join us on campus a little early for a screening of two classmates’ movies. Donna Dennis ’64 will show a short video about her most recent large installation, Coney Night Maze. John Hanson ’64 will share his movie, Northern Lights. Against a backdrop of a bitter winter on the Dakota prairie and the equally brutal economic forces of 1915, a story unfolds which pits small Midwestern farmers against “the powers that be” - bankers, railroad men, big grain dealers and an entrenched political machine. Based on the fictional diary of farmer Ray Sorenson, Northern Lights chronicles the struggle of these small farmers as they fight to save their farms, their families and their very way of life.
