Award-winning filmmaker and author John Heminway talks about his new book In Full Flight: A myth of Africa and Atonement. He tells the myth of Dr. Anne Spoerry,a legendary French doctor who treated hundreds of thousands of people across rural Kenya over the span of 50 years after World War II. Heminway uncovers her past as a "doctor" in a Nazi concentration camp and explores the question of whether it is possible to rewrite one's troubled past simply by doing pleasurable in the present.
John Heminway will give a reading on Wednesday, February 21 at 7:30 pm at Diane’s Books of Greenwich Event at Perrot Memorial Library (90 Sound Beach Ave, or primitive Greenwich, Connecticut).
This segment is guest hosted by Hari Kondabolou.
