Post-film discussion with Dr. Katherine Faull
This movie is about the life and work of David Zeisberger, Moravian missionary, and his work to help Christianized Indians in Pennsylvania. The movie was made for Czech Public TV to acquaint Czechoslovakians with this man who is “much better known in America than in our country,” according to director Lubos Hlavsa. In post-Communist Czechoslovakia, religion was forbidden. Now Hlavsa seeks to teach all of us about the amazing Zeisberger who founded mission towns for Christianized Indians in the Tuscarawas Valley in the 1770’s. Come see how his influence extended to communities close to us. This movie will be followed by a discussion with Dr. Katherine Faull, professor of Bucknell University’s Comparative Humanities Program and Moravian Scholar.
