Place: James and Betty Hall Theater, Dutchess Hall, Dutchess Community College 

The film explores the systems of forced labor that developed after the Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery in 1865, and recounts the history of this American “neoslavery” as it continued for many decades, into the 1940s. A panel discussion will follow the film. Free and open to the public. For more information, please contact Laura Murphy at (845) 431-8521 or murphy@sunydutchess.edu.
