Love Library Hosts 'Lewis and Clark and Indian Country' Exhibit
The University of Nebraska-Lincoln's Love Library is one of 23 libraries and four tribal locations across the United States to host the national traveling exhibit "Lewis and Clark and the Indian Country." The exhibit will be on display in Love Library, 13th and R streets, Oct. 17-Dec. 4, and a number of free programs will be offered.
"Lewis and Clark and the Indian Country" is an exhibition that examines the Lewis and Clark story from the perspective of the Native Americans the explorers encountered on the trail. The exhibit offers a compelling look at what happened when two nations and two ways of life came together in the early 19th century, and how that encounter resounded throughout Indian country and across the United States for the next 200 years. more...

Trumbo and The Digital Cinema of Jon Jost Play at the Ross
UNL's Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center presents Trumbo and The Digital Cinema of Jon Jost. All films will show one week only through October 23.
Trumbo is the story of screenwriter Dalton Trumbo's remarkable journey from Hollywood royalty to blacklisted writer to Academy Award winner. Focusing on the writer's own indelible words, the film features performances of some of his extraordinary letters, clips from his films and, archival and contemporary interviews with those who knew him best. The film illustrates how one man's unerring belief in the First Amendment and the power of the written word--plus a drink or two--empowered him to fight back after being blacklisted by HUAC. Forced to write underground, letter writing became the chief repository of Trumbo's extraordinary talents, and they serve as a wonderfully entertaining testament to his boundless intellect, acerbic humor, and staggering resilience. - Moviefone.
