The Stone River (Film Screening)

- Time: 11:00 pm

The Stone River (2013; 88 minutes) traces the destiny of European stone workers who settled in Barre, VT, at the beginning of the 20th century. There they labored in the granite quarries, and within a few years, most of them were afflicted with silicosis. For the film, present-day residents read the texts of Federal Writers Project interviews of Barre inhabitants.
Presented by the National Archives in partnership with the 2015 Environmental Film Festival in the Nation’s Capital and the National Gallery of Art.
