Film Screening of First They Came for My College

When Gov. Ron DeSantis installed a new slate of conservative trustees at New College of Florida, Christopher Rufo among them, director Patrick Bresnan took his camera to the Sarasota campus and stayed for about two years. First They Came for My College, which premiered at the True/False festival before screening at SXSW, follows the student newspaper, The Catalyst, former professor Amy Reid and students from across the political spectrum as the state's public honors college is remade. After the screening, WSLR News Director Johannes Warner moderates a panel that includes former New College anthropology professor Maria Vesperi and Mary Ruiz, who chaired the trustees when the overhaul began. The evening is a WSLR+Fogartyville event.
