The Rappahannock Independent Film Festival is pleased to present a special screening of JOHN SMITH, the season finale of This American Life, the popular NPR radio show adapted for televion.
The story of one life, told through the lives of people from all over the country, all named John Smith. Baby John Smith is 11 weeks old, in South Carolina, and his parents are still reeling from the sonograms that all predicted he would be a girl. By the time he's 23, John Smith in Laramie, Wyoming, has made some mistakes and is appearing in front of a judge. At 46, he's in Texas, welcoming his oldest son back from Iraq. In-depth portraits of people growing up, growing old, andĀ figuring out how to be fathers, husbands, and men in America today.
The Fredericksburg Athenaeum exists as a not for profit corporation dedicated to the promotion of the arts, literature, philosophy, sciences and technology through education, formal and informal exchange and dialogue, to the benefit of those living in the Rappahannock River region and the global community of shared interests.
