Screening with the presence of the director, Larry Foley.
Introduction: Luciano Caleffi, co-author of Terra Promessa, the book which is one of the sources for the film.
Cries from the Cotton Field, a film by Larry Foley, tells the story of late 19th-century Italian migration to Arkansas: a dream shattered by exploitation and hardship, later redeemed through the founding of the Italian-American community of Tontitown. A journey of pain, hope, and resilience, portrayed with historical depth and visual power.
