The Lowell Film Collaborative and Moses Greeley Parker Lectures Present:
‘Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus’
Sunday, December 7th
Lowell National Park Visitor Center246 Market Street
2 p.m. / Live Performance by Appalachian Still
3 p.m. / Film Screening
You’re officially invited to a thought-provoking road trip through the American South: a world of churches, prisons, coal mines, truck stops, juke joints, swamps and mountains. Along the way, you’ll encounter various musicians inspired by these unique places and hear a collage of stories and testimonies, almost invariably of sudden death, sin or redemption, Heaven or Hell — with no middle ground. Joining you on this southern exploration is alt-country singer Jim White, who reflects upon exactly what it is about this baffling place that inspires musicians and writers, at the same time working through his own preoccupations with his muse — or, as he puts it, “trying to find the gold tooth in God’s crooked smile.”
