6:30 PMHarbor Country Film Group with Eve Moran - "Vertigo



Location:  New Buffalo Township Library
Contact:  Julie Grynwich
Description:  A complex thriller by a master of suspense, Vertigo is considered to be one of Alfred Hitchcock’s greatest films (and also his most personal film). This story of a retired police detective who becomes obsessed by a beautiful woman he has been hired to trail will take us into a deeply twisted sequence of events. Stunning imagery, ground-breaking techniques, and captivating performances by Kim Novak and Jimmy Stewart make this 1958 film one of the most examined and debated movies in the film noir genre. Vertigo was voted the 2nd greatest film of all time by critics in the 2022 Sight & Sound poll.

6:30 PMAbandoned: The Untold Story of the Orphan Trains



Location:  New Buffalo Township Library
Contact:  Julie Grynwich
Description:  
By the end of the Civil War, 30,000 orphaned children roamed the streets of New York City. Many survived by joining violent street gangs like the Bowery Boys, the Roach Guards and the Dead Rabbits. In response to this crisis, the age of the Orphan Train Movement began. It culminated with 250,000 children being sent by train to live out west with farming families, often as indentured servants. Michael Keene’s documentary, Abandoned: The Untold Story of the Orphan Trains, explores one of the most audacious and shocking chapters in American history.
Presenter: Michael T. Keene, historian, author and filmmaker, will introduce his documentary on Orphan Trains and lead a discussion via Zoom.

6:30 PMMorristown and the Plot to Kidnap George Washington



Location:  New Buffalo Township Library
Contact:  Julie Grynwich
Description:  
In the fall of 1779, George Washington took his 10,000-man army into winter camp in Morristown, N.J. It would be a brutal winter of suffering, depression, starvation, betrayal, mutiny, treason and an attempt to kidnap Washington by the British. When spring finally came, only 8,000 men would be left in Morristown, a third of them unfit for service. And yet, Morristown marked a turning point in the Revolutionary War. In May, Washington was joined by Lafayette, who promised him a second fleet of French support, leading to the final defeat of the British in 1783.
Presenter: William Hazelgrove is a prolific author and speaker whose subjects range from the Wright Brothers to Teddy Roosevelt, Edith Wilson and the Titanic. He has been a frequent and popular presenter at the New Buffalo Library.
