The Surprise and Surviving the Silence, October 2^nd, lakeside at SECCA, 750 Marguerite Drive, Winston-Salem

On Friday, October 2^nd, we will screen the fun 5 minute narrative, The Surprise (see above – with director/actor Anita Clark-Anderson joining us!) and the compelling documentary feature, Surviving the Silence: The Untold Story of Two Women in Love Who Helped Change Military Policy.

In the early 1990’s a highly decorated colonel (Patsy Thompson) was forced to expel an army hero (Margarethe Cammermeyer) for being a lesbian.  What no one knew at the time was that the same colonel was herself a closeted lesbian.  Decades later, this truth is exposed in all of its complexity and the three women involved come together, again, to contemplate those events and their impact.

Director, Cindy Abel, will join us in person, and in a pre-recorded Q & A, featuring Barbara Brass, Colonel (Ret.) Patsy Thompson (N.C. native!) and Colonel (Ret.) Margarethe Cammermeyer.  OUT at the Movies Advisory Board Member, Eden Lane, will moderate the Q & A.

Beer, wine, coffee and hot chocolate will be available for purchase.  Ticket link just below.
