Scott Galloway, son of former Fox Chapel Presbyterian Church Pastor John Galloway, will be here to present his film at the Cranberry Theaters in Cranberry Twp. at the junction of I-79, the Turnpike, and Route 228. Cost per participant is $4.00 and there will be a Question & Answer session following the showing of the film.
Angered by white residents' racist comments that he wouldn't "keep up his yard," Pearl Fryar teaches himself topiary sculpture and becomes the first African American in his Bishopville, SC, neighborhood to win the coveted "yard of the month" award. This acclaimed documentary traces Fryar's inspiring story, as he grows into a legendary horticulturist, welcoming thousands of tourists eager to catch a glimpse of his stunning works of art. (Click here or on the link below for pictures of his amazing garden.)
This award-winning film (Heartland Film Festival & the Salem Film Festival) can be used in your ministry for education purposes and allow for constructive conversation about racism, bigotry, discrimination, and other social dynamics that we confront in people being treated without equal regard in a variety of communities across our nation and the world.
This Church Educational Event is a special event hosted by Presbyterian Media Mission.
