No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
Attend the Boston preview of "Gods and Generals," the major motion picture about the American Civil War that follows the rise and fall of Stonewall Jackson, and is a prequel to the film "Gettysburg" (based on the novel, "The Killer Angels") by the same director. The movie (produced by Ted Turner Pictures with a national release date of February 21) was filmed in and around Sharpsburg, Maryland, the site of the Antietam Battlefield, and on actual historic locations in Virginia and West Virginia. Writer/director Ron Maxwell and a leading cast member will introduce the film and then show 30 minutes of excerpts. A question-and-answer session will follow. The event will be hosted by Professor Merritt Roe Smith, author of "Harpers Ferry Armory and the New Technology" and a Civil War expert in MIT's Program in Science, Technology, and Society.
