About “Agnes”:
“Agnes” premiered at The F.M. Kirby Center for the Performing Arts June 2022 to a sold-out house, and, due to popular demand, three additional screenings were added. The documentary includes rare photographs, local news footage, newspaper clippings, interviews with Agnes survivors, and, for the first time ever, archived national network footage. It was not shown on television. Hailed as “emotional,” “powerful” and “inspiring,” the film serves as a testament to the strength and fortitude of the people of the Wyoming Valley, who overcame what at the time was the worst natural disaster in U.S. history.
