Starting at 7 p.m. at the Baobab is a screening of The Line (Linda Midgett, U.S. 2012, 30 min.) followed by a discussion with Ann Johnson, and Ed Doherty.

The Line is a groundbreaking documentary chronicling the new face of poverty in America. The 30-minute film uncovers the emerging and entrenched faces of poverty in our country — such as the suburban former banker, who now relies on a food pantry; to an aging career fisherman, whose shrimping business has been devastated by the after-effects of Hurricane Katrina and the BP oil spill in the Gulf Coast.
