Real to Reel

By examining the dramatization of history by the film industry, the Lorenzo Cultural Center's Real to Reel program seeks to set the record straight by comparing Hollywood’s sensationalized version with the historically accepted interpretations of events. Join us for our 2023-2024 Real to Reel programming featuring films with a discussion by Macomb Community College's faculty.

As the American Civil War continues to rage, America's president struggles with continuing carnage on the battlefield as he fights with many inside his own cabinet on the decision to emancipate the slaves. The Lorenzo Cultural Center's Real to Reel program seeks to set the record straight by comparing Hollywood's sensationalized version with the historically accepted interpretations of events. Following the film, a discussion will be led by Macomb Community College's faculty, Elton Weintz.
