'Top Docs' Series Presents: The Disappearance of McKinley Nolan
The Pelham Picture House presents The Disappearance of McKinley Nolan as part of the Top Docs film series.
The event will begin with a complimentary wine reception at 7 p.m., followed by the film screening at 7:30 p.m.
A Q&A session with director Henry Corra will be held after the screening, moderated by author and film critic Michael Atkinson (Film Comment, Village Voice.)
Film synopsis: "Private McKinley Nolan vanished 40 years ago on the Cambodian frontier. Henry Corra's haunting meditation on war, memory and love follows the search, taking unexpected twists and turns along the way. After retired Army Lieutenant Dan Smith thinks he sees McKinley in a small Vietnamese town, devoted younger brother Michael travels from rural Texas to Vietnam to try to unravel the story. He meets the Vietnamese family McKinley married into as well as members of the Khmer Rouge who knew him. Though the search does not resolve all of the family's questions, deeper issues of family ties, cover-ups and remarkable personal histories are revealed."
