Description
“The Political Education of Maggie Lauterer” tells the story of a charismatic western North Carolina TV personality and bluegrass music singer who runs for congress without any political experience – and what she learns in the process. This story of politics in America comes from the 1996 Peabody winning series Vote for Me: Politics in America, directed by Dr. Paul Stekler. Dr. Stekler will present his film and then discuss what documentary filmmaking has taught him about the nature of truth, and particularly what he has learned about the role of fact and faith in politics over his many years as a documentarian and scholar in the field of politics. Dr. Paul Stekler is Professor of Public Affairs and Professor of Radio-Television-Film at the University of Texas in Austin. His film credits include George Wallace: Settin' the Woods on Fire and segments of Eyes on the Prize II; his work has garnered Peabody Awards and national Emmy awards—and the respect of the many students in filmmaking Dr. Stekler has reached over the years. This event is part of Critical Encounters: Fact & Faith.
