The Hindsight Film Festival will host a complimentary screening of ‘The Disappearance of Miss Scott,’ a film from PBS American Masters.

Scott was an early advocate for civil rights who confronted the Red Scare at the potential expense of her career and was a proponent for equality.

After the film, there will be a Q&A session with Emmy Award-winning director Nicole London and Adam Clayton Powell III, who is both a journalist and the son of Hazel Scott and Adam Clayton Powell Jr., the first African American elected to Congress from New York in 1945.

The event is co-sponsored by The Better Angels Society (Ken Burns Prize for Film) and CinemaSavannah.
