A feature-length documentary sponsored by Oklahoma City's Historic Film Row will make its Oklahoma debut during the deadCenter Film Festival next month.
Two Trains Runnin', directed by Sam Pollard and narrated by Common, tells the remarkable story of how avid blues fans were able to save the music of their heroes amid the backdrop of racial violence that gripped Mississippi during Freedom Summer in 1964.
KOSU's Kelly Burley visited with Ben Hedin, who wrote Two Trains Runnin', about the film.
In support of the film, one of its featured artists, Lucinda Williams, will play a special performance with a Q&A session at the Paramount Room in Oklahoma City on Tuesday, June 7, beginning at 8pm.
Ticket information for An Evening with Lucinda Williams is at eventbrite.com.
