Don't Miss the World Premiere screening of

The People v Leo Frank

A Stunning new PBS Documentary

Thursday, April 30  7:30 P.M.

Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre

 

On April 30, 2009, the Anti-Defamation League will present the world premiere screening of The People v. Leo Frank, a new PBS documentary that tells the story of one of the most infamous episode in American history: the 1915 trial and subsequent lynching of Atlanta Jewish businessman Leo Frank. The screening will bring together a diverse cross-section of Georgians who will gather to reflect on the prejudice that haunts our past, but more importantly to celebrate the progress we've made toward becoming a community that rejects hatred and bigotry.

 

The world premiere will be held at the spectacular, new Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre, located just two miles from the site in Marietta where Frank was hanged. Chairs for the premiere are Cobb County Commission Chairman Sam Olens, Former Georgia governor Roy Barnes and Emory University Associate Law Professor Julie Seaman. The director and stars of the film will attend the screening and lead an audience discussion after the showing.

 

This is a not-to-be-missed opportunity to come together with friends, neighbors, business and community leaders and elected officials to watch an important film about our own history as Atlantans. 

 

The People v. Leo Frank will air on PBS television stations across the country this fall.
