Program Description
Event Details
Selected by 23 film festivals around the country and the winner of five Best Feature and Audience Choice awards, The Tree follows three days in the life of 88-year-old Dorothy Thorp as she drives from Kansas to Indiana on US Route 40 to reunite with her oldest and dearest friend. Inspired by the relationship between the director’s mother and her childhood best friend, The Tree “tackles important issues involving aging and independence, yet does so in a way that is remarkably universal and deeply intimate.” Writer/director Stephen Pruitt will introduce the film and facilitate conversation afterwards. Presented in partnership with Humanities Kansas and Mid-America Nazarene
University.
