In the midst of America’s deep divisions, The Reunited States is a powerful and urgent documentary that follows the unsung heroes on the difficult journey of bridging our political and racial divides. Susan Bro, who lost her daughter when a car drove through a crowd of counter-protestors in Charlottesville, VA and David and Erin Leaverton, a Republican couple who travel to all fifty states in an RV to find out what divides us, are just a few of the characters profiled in the film. Each of these bridge-builders have realized that while our divides run deeper than they ever could have imagined, so does the love and hope to bring our country back together. Based on the book of the same name by Mark Gerzon, the film urges us to consider that everyone has a role to play in reuniting the country.

Council’s decision to expand Parks and Recreation services for the residents of Mills River by
increasing staff support and earmarking funding for programs and events. This investment by
the Council was supported by the Town’s Parks, Trails, and Recreation Advisory committee
and the recently adopted Parks and Recreation Masterplan
Edward Scissorhands
1990 ‧ 1h 45m ‧ PG-13
Join us for a Halloween-themed screening of Tim Burton’s 1990 cult-classic “Edward Scissorhands” through the lens of craft! A postmodern take on Frankenstein, the film follows Edward, an unfinished creation who is also an artistic outsider, navigating the conformity of suburban America and leaving behind a trail of avant-garde topiaries and haircuts. The film’s commentary on the handmade versus the machine is rendered with the singular irreverence and stylization of Tim Burton.
Complimentary beverages and popcorn courtesy of Bhramari Brewing Co. and Poppy Handcrafted popcorn are provided. Thank you to our Craft Cinema series sponsor, Brown Brothers Harriman & Co.

Beloved: Children of the Holocaust is the incredible story of Mary Burkett, an untrained artist, who was inspired to draw a picture of a boy she found online – a boy who turned out to be Hersch Goldberg, a five-year-old killed in the gas chambers at Auschwitz. Hersch was the first of what would become a collection of 27 “beloved children” who have now inspired millions across the globe with their message of love and tolerance.
November 9 – 10 is called Kristallnacht. In 1938, Nazi leaders unleashed a series of pogroms against the Jewish population in Germany and recently incorporated territories. The night is also known as The Night of Broken Glass due to the shattered glass that littered the streets after the vandalism and destruction of Jewish-owned businesses, synagogues, and homes. Together we will remember this tragic night and the atrocities of the Holocaust while stepping out of the darkness to work together, to unite, and bring awareness to the Holocaust Memorial of Greenville.
This is an exclusive opportunity to see the film, Beloved: Children of the Holocaust, before wide distribution Spring 2023 and to learn about the Holocaust Memorial of Greenville and the public dedication, April 23rd, 2023.
The program begins with Arielle Nakdimon, President of Greenville Jewish Federation, sharing about the local impact of the Holocaust Memorial of Greenville. Caroline Warthen, Co-Chair of the Greenville Jewish Film Festival, will read a Holocaust survivor’s recollection of Kristallnacht. Mary Burkett will be available after the film for Q&A.
About Mary Burkett
Mary is just an ordinary person called to extraordinary circumstances. She is a retired nurse, wife, mother, and grandmother. Having had no artistic training, in January 2017, she began to create a living memorial to precious children killed in the Holocaust. In seven short months, Beloved: Children of the Holocaust, a collection of 27 beautiful portraits, was complete. Since that time, Mary has gone on to draw more than 100 portraits in five different collections, and her work has been viewed millions of times and recognized in the United States Congressional Record. A select number of Burkett’s pieces will be on display in the lobby before and after the film screening.
This program is brought to you through partnership between the Greenville Jewish Federation and the Greenville Jewish Film Festival.

One of rock music’s most original and uncompromising groups is also one of its longest-lasting: founded in 1969 by guitarist Robert Fripp, King Crimson has changed the landscape of modern music more than a few times during its on-and-off existence. Fripp is the band’s sole mainstay; more than 20 musicians have passed through its ranks.
But some of the most groundbreaking and important musicians – especially in progressive rock – have been members of King Crimson: Greg Lake (ELP), Ian McDonald (Foreigner), John Wetton (UK, Asia), Bill Bruford (Yes), Gavin Harrison (Porcupine Tree) Boz Burrell (Bad Company), Adrian Belew (Talking Heads, David Bowie), Pat Mastelotto (Mr. Mister, Stick Men) and Tony Levin are just a few.
The ever-changing King Crimson ushered in the progressive rock era at the end of the ‘60s, pioneered progressive metal in the 1970s, combined “worldbeat” textures with Western music in ‘80s and explored industrial and post-rock styles in the 1990s and beyond. On the occasion of the group’s 50th anniversary, filmmaker Toby Amies set out to make a documentary exploring the history of the band.
The resulting motion picture is as odd, idiosyncratic, challenging and ultimately entertaining as King Crimson itself. As the press kit for In the Court of the Crimson King: King Crimson at 50 asserts:
What began as a straightforward documentary about the cult rock band
King Crimson as it turned 50, mutated into an exploration of time, death,
family, and the transcendent power of music to change lives. But with jokes.
Hosted by Asheville-based author and music journalist Bill Kopp, Grail Moviehouse presents a special screening of the film on Monday, December 12 @ 7pm and sponsored by AshevilleFM. After a brief introduction, we’ll watch the film together. And then afterward, we’ll engage in a moderated discussion about King Crimson.
The event is the first in a planned series of Music Movie Mondays at Grail Moviehouse. We’ll watch and discuss new releases, classics and cult favorites.
