Film Screening - "American Masters: Roberta Flack"
Join Arlington Public Library at Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse to enjoy this new PBS documentary
Arlington's own Roberta Flack is the focus of a new PBS documentary, American Masters: Roberta Flack, which provides an intimate look into Flack's artistry, life and triumphs over racism and sexism within and outside of the recording industry. With exclusive access to Flack’s archives of film, performances, interviews, home movies, photos, hit songs and unreleased music, the film documents how Flack’s musical virtuosity was inseparable from her lifelong commitment to civil rights. Running time 87 minutes.
