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. For more information on Appalshop films and other

Center associate director, at 859-985-3140.
