Chairman Jones Sparkles at RiverRun
Chairman Jones had two well-attended and very successful screenings–March 30th and April 1st, 2017– at the RiverRun International Film Festival in Winston-Salem, NC. Chairman Jones sparkled at Hanesbrand Theater, a wonderful screening venue with high quality video and audio projection, where every seat has an excellent view of the screen.
Attendees said they were “inspired,” “uplifted,” and “more hopeful,” by this story of courage and leadership during a difficult time in race relations in our nation’s history– not unlike the social and political upheaval we are currently experiencing in our country!
