Riverton Branch Library and CWC Screens “The Exiles”

The Riverton Branch Library and Central Wyoming College presents a public screening of the groundbreaking Native American Film, “The Exiles,” which is followed by a discussion with the film’s original cinematographer and Oscar winner, Erik Daarstad.

The screening and the Daarstad speech is set for Tuesday, May 4 at 7 p.m. in the Riverton Branch Library Community Room.

Daarstad will talk about the historical significance and the making of this film. His visit involves a discussion on these real life characters and answer any questions the audience may have. “The Exiles” chronicles one night in the lives of young Native Americans living in the Bunker Hill district of Los Angeles in 1958.

For more information, please call the library at 856-3556. This program is supported in part by a grant from the Wyoming Arts Council, with funding from the Wyoming State Legislature and the National Endowment for the Arts.
