Join the filmmakers for the the final cut of Fire in the Heartland, focusing on the genesis of student activism at Kent State, the growing anti-war movement and the killing of student protesters on May 4, 1970. A special Q&A session with the director and members of the film will follow the screening.

The campus community and visitors will gather at noon on the May 4 site at the Kent State Commons (rain location: Kent Student Center Ballroom) to commemorate the moment that gunfire erupted 53 years ago. The commemoration will include a performance by the Kent Chorale, feature remarks from university students and administrators, the ringing of the Victory Bell and a moment of silence at 12:24 p.m.

The tour will stop at key locations, look at historic photos and maps, and hear stories that reflect multiple perspectives on events that occurred there, and then open to a thoughtfully facilitated discussion of participants’ reactions, memories, and reflections on these events.
