Join us for some or all of the following events in March!
ALICE’S
ORDINARY PEOPLE WITH FILMMAKER CRAIG DUDNICK: Alice's
Ordinary People is a documentary DVD about Alice Tregay – a woman who refused
to stand still for injustice and brought others together to change what was.
Her remarkable story spans the historic period from the marches of Dr. King to
the election of Barack Obama; her great contribution in the field of politics
is the thread which connects the two. Please register and join us on
Thursday, March 5, at 6:30 PM for this inspiring film.
A more thorough description and schedule of programs is offered at imaginevideo.org under the tabs Alice's Ordinary People and Events. This documentary event is sponsored by the Friends of Kimball Library.
Filmmaker, Craig Dudnick is a 1980 graduate of Northwestern University. In 1982, he received a national award for his camerawork on the syndicated television program, PM Magazine. The following year, he founded Imagine Video Productions®, eventually gaining clients from Europe, Japan, and at ABC News. While an undergraduate at Northwestern, Craig grew close to Mrs. Viola Hillsman and her husband Tinsley. His lifelong friendship with the couple was the subject of a feature on the NPR radio program, 'The Story with Dick Gordon.”
After Mrs. Hillsman passed away at age 100, a number of her friends shared personal accounts of their struggles against racism in Evanston, Illinois, which became the basis of Craig’s documentary, Evanston’s Living History.

Fellow Evanstonian Alice
Tregay liked the film and asked Craig to make a second documentary--this one
about the Chicago Freedom Movement. The result was Alice’s Ordinary People.
