Step back in time at the historic Mount Hope Farm for a special screening of the critically acclaimed film, Amistad. This event is more than just a movie night; it is a unique opportunity to explore local history and global justice in the very place where scenes from the film were brought to life.
As part of the Bristol 250 celebrations and in partnership with Rogers Free Library, we are honored to host Discovering Amistad. Their experts will provide vital historical context, bridging the gap between Hollywood’s lens and the true story of the 1839 uprising and the landmark court case that followed.
