Screening of “A Man Named Pearl”

INRC is pleased to offer a special screening of this film on Thursday, September 20, 7pm
at the Keystone Art Cinema located in the Fashion Mall at Keystone.

This film tells the inspiring story of self-taught topiary artist Pearl Fryar, whose unlikely journey to national prominence began with a bigoted remark. Fueled by a desire to overcome racial stereotype, over 30 years ago, Pearl began fashioning a garden that would attract positive attention. His goal began modestly, but has escalated into a greater purpose, bringing tourist dollars to a poor community and creating a haven where people of all races can feel peace, love and goodwill.
Space is limited! Call INRC at 920-0330, ext. 100 to reserve your seat today!
