LANCASTER, Pa. - Harlem's Blues, a film by Franklin & Marshall alumnus Randy Wilkins '01, will be show on Saturday, Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. in Franklin & Marshall's Green Room Theatre. The film is free and open to the public.
The world of the Harlem jazz scene serves as the backdrop for a story of reconciliation and understanding between a brother and sister. As the musically talented Sunny adjusts to life outside jail, her brother begins his journey in exorcising the demons that put her there. In a tiny jazz club in Harlem, Sunny's brother begins to understand her pure love for self, music and family. Wilkins is a graduate of NYU's graduate film program and has produced a number of films and documentaries. He has worked with Spike Lee on both Inside Man and When the Levees broke. Harlem's Blues has earned kudos on the film-festival circuit, including an honorable mention at the First Annual Texas Black Film Festival.
