An original documentary from WSKG Public Media and filmmaker Brian Frey, North to Freedom examines the important role upstate New York played in the Underground Railroad during the years leading up to and during the American Civil War. The Central and Southern Tier of the state served as crucial passages and ultimate destinations for those seeking freedom, offering hope and refuge to enslaved Americans. Binghamton, Elmira, Owego, Ithaca, Syracuse, Peterboro, and dozens of other communities provided safe houses, churches, and sanctuaries along the route from the South.

There will be a daytime screening for students at 2 p.m., and an open-to-the-community screening at 6 p.m. Both will take place in the Angelo Zuccolo Little Theater in the Student Center. Complete event details are available here.
