Telling Stories, Telling History
The John L. Guerrant History Lecture
Filmmaker Paul Wagner will talk about the challenges and treacheries of the
creative process as applied to the telling of historical stories on film and
television. If you thought a documentary was, by definition, the truth, you're
in for a surprise. Mr. Wagner will present clips from his films, including A
Paralyzing Fear, the Story of Polio in America, to illustrate how filmmakers
control our perceptions of the past and of reality itself. A Paralyzing Fear
won the Eric Barnouw Award for Best Historical Film of 1998.
