About
The film was produced by ArtistsAndMusicians.org and John L. Reed, Executive Director of Zion Union Heritage Museum (ZUHM) and features the Museum’s resident artists, Pamela Chatterton-Purdy, Carl Lopes and Robin J. Miller. It also includes the work of Michael Alfano, Vasco Pires, Elizabeth Mumford, Joe Diggs, and Sean Cassidy. The film also draws on the music of outstanding regional musicians including Walter Beasley, Ensemble Passacaglia, Steffani Bennett, and Jerry Portnoy.
Following the film, the filmmaker and artists will talk about their work and the history and traditions that inspire it. CCMoA is also exhibiting work by Chatterton-Purdy, Carl Lopes and Robin J. Miller during the month of February.
The film is based in part on the historical notes of Dolores DaLuz and made possible through the generosity of the Lyndon Paul Larusso Foundation.
