Sunday Screening: Possum Town
Join us for a screening of Possum Town, a feature-length documentary that explores the legacy of O. N. Pruitt’s photographs in the lives of people from Columbus, Mississippi, at 2 p.m. Sunday, February 1, in the Craig H. Neilsen Auditorium. This 99-minute film focuses on a Columbus native who compares O. N. Pruitt’s photographic negatives from the Jim Crow era with everyday stories of the town’s citizens today. Following the screening, a panel conversation will feature attorney Wil Colom, who appears in the film, and filmmakers Berkley Hudson and Daniel Christian.
