Lydian Sunday Afternoon Movie

Lydia Art Salon emphasizes community building surrounding arts and culture. This often means holding events that are on theme with our current exhibition. On Sunday, November 22nd we’re hosting a screening of Goodnight & Good Luck, 2005. This movie explores fears of political and financial retaliation, which deeply reflects our current gallery showcase. Join us as we watch and discuss such topics with one another in a cozy environment.
About the movie: The McCarthy hearings of the 1950’s created an atmosphere of fear and persecution, with thousands of Americans losing their jobs and being blackballed under suspicion of being Communists. CBS journalist Edward R. Murrow and his staff attempted to expose McCarthy in the face of intense pushback from CBS executives and nervous corporate sponsors who feared political and financial retaliation.
