The film project is being
produced by Ed and Karen Underwood. The Underwoods
are known in
for the performing arts troupe called “THE UFOs”, and the Jonesboro Ghost Tour.
The Underwood’s have written and published three books on
To Carry A. Nation”.
Carry
A. Nation was a historic figure known for her religious fervor, political
activism and for using a hatchet to smash up saloons. She believed she was
appointed by God to stop the sale and consumption of alcohol in
“The
movie takes place during the last two days of her active life in January of
1911 in
Hall" still stands there to this day.” said Karen Underwood.
The
film's dramatic narrative has to do with the events and conflicts leading up to
her last public speech. “We are also using Carry as a lens” said Ed Underwood,
“to view the cultural dynamic of what happens when a religious firebrand
electrifies the public into divisive political activism. Consequently, we
believe the project is both entertaining and socially relevant.”
