The St. Augustine Film Society hosts a showing of The Salt of the Earth (2014) on Friday, November 22, 2024, at 7:00 p.m. at the Waterworks. A guest speaker, Flagler College instructor Christopher LeClere, will lead a discussion after the film.

Directed by Wim Wenders and Juliano Ribeiro Salgado, this Academy Award-nominated documentary follows the life and career of Brazilian photographer, Sebastião Salgado. Viewers are taken on a journey through deprived African and South American communities, with a focus on the ever-changing human condition. Salgado's work displays the contrast between beautiful landscapes and international conflicts — poverty, displacement, and starvation.

Admission: Tickets are $8.00 for the public. Students and St. Augustine Film Society members are free.

When: Friday, November 22, 2024 at 7:00 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Where: The St. Augustine Waterworks is at 184 San Marco Avenue in St. Augustine, Florida 32084.

Getting There: While the address is 184 San Marco Avenue, the only driveway on San Marco is Exit Only, so it is not available to access the Waterworks.
