Projections of America chronicles a team of idealistic film makers who hoped the power of movies could reshape the world following WWII. Led by Academy Award winner Robert Riskin, the filmmakers created 26 short documentaries about American life which were shown around the world, but not to American audiences at the time. John Lithgow narrates this story of war, idealism, and the power of the cinema. This film is sponsored by The Charles H. Coolidge Medal of Honor Museum Heritage Center. On the same evening Autobiography of a Jeep will screen as an added feature and will be followed by a discussion of how this film was made by Amy Linton, the film’s editor. She will also entertain questions from the audience.
