His Name is Green Flake Movie Screening

Wanlass Performance Hall | 6 p.m.

Join us for an abbreviated screening of the film His Name is Green Flake, based on the true story of an enslaved pioneer and Latter-day Saint who was sent to serve the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and was crucial to the "Mormon Migration" and settlement of Utah.

Following the screening, engage in a conversation with Director Mauli Bonner and Yahosh Bonner (“Green Flake”) on the importance of bringing underrepresented history to light.
