DESCRIPTION:FREE SCREENING: San Francisco Filmmakers Announce Local Debut of 
 Award-Winning New Deal Film Seen Everywhere But Here\n\nWHAT:	Juster Hill 
 Productions has announced that their award-winning documentary film, ALASKA 
 FAR AWAY: THE NEW DEAL PIONEERS OF THE MATANUSKA COLONY, will make its San 
 Francisco debut at a free screening on Friday, June 15, at 7:00 PM.\nSince 
 its debut in 2008, Alaska Far Away has been an audience favorite at 16 film 
 festivals in the U.S. and Northern Ireland, as well as at over 300 other 
 live screenings, plus 467 public television broadcasts on 156 different 
 channels from New York City to Los Angeles in 42 states,.\n\nBut this will 
 be its first public screening in San Francisco. \n\nALASKA FAR AWAY poses 
 the intriguing question: What if you had a chance to start your life over - 
 in Alaska? In 1935 Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal gave 202 families from 
 Depression-ravaged Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michigan an extraordinary 
 opportunity: the chance to start over on the Alaskan frontier. Alaska Far 
 Away tells the story of this bold government experiment, and the families 
 who found themselves thrust into the national spotlight along the 
 way.\n\nThe Matanuska Colonization Project of 1935 was among the most 
 unusual and controversial of the many New Deal programs designed to help 
 ordinary citizens devastated by the Great Depression. It generated a 
 whirlwind of publicity and controversy at the time, not only as a very 
 expensive federally-funded social experiment, but also as one of the last 
 pioneer movements in America.\n\nNarrated by legendary actor Peter Coyote, 
 with musical score by San Francisco favorite Richard "Scrumbly" Koldewyn, 
 and featuring exclusive interviews with many of the original colonists, 
 this renowned film is a true American adventure story from our 
 not-so-distant past.\n\nFilmmakers Paul Hill and Joan Juster, both 
 residents of San Francisco, will introduce the film, and host a Q&A after 
 the screening. \n\nDATE:		Friday, July 15, 2016\nTIME:		7:00 PM to 9:00 
 PM\n		Times include introduction and Q&A. Alaska Far Away is 91 minutes 
 long.\n		Doors open at 6:30 PM\nWHERE:	Premiere Theatre, Letterman Digital 
 Arts Center,\n		1 Letterman Drive, San Francisco, CA
