"Mud Creek Clinic" Showing on Nov. 20
 
11/13/00
 
   

Eula Hall, Floyd County activist and the subject of the Appalshop film "Mud Creek Clinic," will be the featured guest at the next Berea College Appalachian Center/CELTS film and discussion session Monday, Nov. 20, beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the basement of Union Church.

While the program is free and open to the public, the event's sponsors are asking those who attend to bring canned goods and/or coats for the Clinic's food and clothing banks.

The Mud Creek Clinic is a primary health clinic that was started in 1973 by a community in Floyd County, Kentucky with the idea that health care is a right, not a privilege. "Mud Creek Clinic" explores the formulation of the clinic, the feelings among the patients and community that the clinic belongs to them, and draws a portrait of Eula Hall.

Refreshments will be provided and participants are invited to bring musical instruments for post-showing open jams.

The final film/discussion session, scheduled for Dec. 11, is “Strangers and Kin.” Appalshop arts and education center, located in Whitesburg, has for three decades produced and presented work in a wide range of media which celebrates the culture and voices the concerns of people living in the Appalachian Mountains. From grassroots beginnings it has developed a national reputation for excellence and authenticity.
