Screening of 'Sew Their Names' documentary to be held at Capri Theater in Montgomery

The Capri Theater will hold a screening for the "Sew Their Names" documentary directed by Josh Carples and presented by the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts on July 20. 

"Art, history, and community merge to weave a story about a retired federal judge confronting her family's past involvement in slavery and a group of Black quilters in a rural Alabama community helping to honor previously unknown victims of American enslavement," said a description on social media of the film. 

The screening will be followed by a Q&A and discussion. A preview for the film can be seen here and tickets can be purchased here. 

The event will be held from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. at the Capri Theater on 1045 E. Fairview Avenue.
