Dispatches on the Red Dress : Film Premiere & Post Show Talk
Rowan Rheingans
Unravelling the joy and pain from a story of her grandmother’s youth in 1940's Germany, Rowan celebrates small acts of resistance and boldly asks a troubling question for our times: can hope for our future be found in the very darkest pockets of our history?
