Join us on November 15th from 6-8:30pm for a screening of "James Baldwin: The Price of the Ticket" at 5-Points Arts Center, 855 University Dr. in Torrington!

Tickets are $15 online and $20 at the door, and are available at culture4acause.org

An emotional portrait, a social critique and a passionate plea for human equality, this 1989 film is a vérité feast. In archival excerpts from over one hundred sources and nine different countries, Baldwin shares his message with first-person urgency: exploring what it means to be born black, impoverished, gay and gifted – in a world that has yet to understand that “all men are brothers.”

Baldwin’s eloquence is illuminated by intimate interviews and original footage: scenes from his extraordinary funeral service; explorations of his homes on three continents, including France, Switzerland, Turkey and Harlem; insights from family, friends, colleagues and critics.

Witnesses include his brother David Baldwin; biographer David Leeming; writers Maya Angelou, Amiri Baraka, William Styron, Ishmael Reed and Yashar Kemal; painter Lucien Happersberger and entertainer Bobby Short.

The event is sponsored by Northwest Community Bank, Dr. Michael Curi, the Northwest CT Chamber of Commerce and Toth Insurance. If you or your organization are interested in sponsoring this event or future events, please contact us.
