Visiting Dena

Since I was in town I dropped by to visit Dena Epstein. She's in the film. She's the person you hear in the very beginning recount her memory of a run on a bank during the Great Depression, and she later tells of her mother's experience on the Writers' Project in Chicago. She is among the few remaining links to that part of our national history, and her experience and memories provided a bridge to the past for us as people and as filmmakers and for the audience. I thought it would be nice to say hi. We talked and ate soup with some her friends. It was nice. Thanks for hanging out Dena.
