Monday, June 25, 2025<\/strong>
\nTime<\/strong>: 8:45 PM
\nLocation<\/strong>: Palazzo Chiericati<\/p>\n

Screening with the presence of the director, Larry Foley.
\nIntroduction: Luciano Caleffi, co-author of Terra Promessa, the book which is one of the sources for the film.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][image_with_animation image_url=”407″ image_size=”full” max_width=”100%” max_width_mobile=”default” animation_type=”entrance” animation=”None” animation_movement_type=”transform_y” hover_animation=”none” alignment=”” border_radius=”none” box_shadow=”none” image_loading=”default”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” el_class=”flex_layout column themeFix formColumn” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” column_padding_type=”default” gradient_type=”default”][vc_column_text css=”” text_direction=”default”]\n
