Thank you to everyone who attended the Soul of a People screening at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. The documentary played to a full house and was received by a wildly enthusiastic audience. After the show, director Andrea Kalin and co-producer/co-writer David Taylor introduced a surprise guest to the audience - Stetson Kennedy! One of the last living alumni of the Federal Writers' Project, the 93-year old Kennedy traveled all the way from Florida in order to attend the event, and was welcomed with a well-deserved standing ovation from the packed house.

We would like to extend a special thanks to Nona Martin and Jeanny Kim at the Smithsonian Institution for organizing this special event, and also thank Tom Phelps, Director of Public Programs at the NEH, and David Royle, Executive Vice President for Programming and Production at the Smithsonian Channel, who both gave a passionate and eloquent introduction to the film.

And thank you for everyone who attended. We hope you enjoyed the show!
