Poster for “The Searchers”
The Center for Documentary Studies and the Southern Documentary Fund present a work-in-progress screening of The Searchers as part of the Fresh Docs film series. The locally-produced feature film by Randolph Benson is about a small number of U.S. citizens who, without recognition and in spite of frequent ridicule, have dedicated their lives to researching the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in November 1963.

Directions
Benson, a longtime CDS Continuing Education instructor whose award-winning films have been featured on the Independent Film Channel, Bravo, and HBO, among other media outlets, will participate in a post-screening conversation with the audience. The Fresh Docs series features documentaries fresh from the edit suite: both works-in-progress and recently completed films. In the case of the works-in-progress, the audience is asked to provide valuable feedback on the piece.
Fresh Docs screenings are free and open to the public.
