Having previously screened at the New Orleans, Atlanta, Nashville, San Francisco DOCFEST (where it won the audience award), and Oxford Film Festivals, as well as internationally in Berlin, Sydney, Tokyo and Dubai, IN THE BONES will have its Jackson premiere on Thursday, June 15th, at 6:30 p.m. at the historic Capri Theatre in Fondren, followed by a panel discussion with director Kelly Duane de la Vega, producer Jessica Anthony and local community leaders.
In the Bones is a lyrical documentary that explores the personal and political by interweaving the lives of 12 characters living in Mississippi during a legislative session in which equal pay for equal work and abortion rights are being decided. Although set in three distinct regions of Mississippi, In the Bones is a much broader exploration of our culture, an unsettling portrayal of America that lingers, shining a light on the weight women live under in this country and also the resilience expressed in everyday acts of survival.
