Screening & Discussion: Finding Edna Lewis (Norfolk)
February 24 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Norfolk native Deb Freeman is bringing her Emmy-winning PBS documentary ‘Finding Edna Lewis’ to her hometown ahead of the 4th Annual Monarch Short Film Festival.
From Freetown, Virginia, to New York City, Edna Lewis carved a remarkable path. She introduced many Americans to seasonal cooking, Southern cooking — the cooking of the Black community in rural Virginia that raised her. Yet despite a life that included fame and acclaim, she is not a household name. Finding Edna Lewis hopes to change that.
A discussion and Q&A with the filmmaker will occur after the film, moderated by WHRO’s Director of Equity Production and Outreach Lisa Godley.
