TELLING NEW JERSEY’S STORIES: AN EVENING WITH BOB SZUTER, WRITER/PRODUCER, NJN PUBLIC TELEVISION

Two short documentary screenings followed by Q & A

Bob Szuter is a writer/producer at NJN Public Television whose most recent projects include Morristown:Where America Survived and Green Builders; both New Jersey-based programs have been distributed nationally by PBS. He has been working in various production roles on documentaries about New Jersey’s environment and history for over twenty years.

7pm - Morristown: Where America Survived & Post Film Q & A with Bob Szuter

This film revisits that winter of 1779-80 when Washington’s troops arrived at the area south of Morristown known as Jockey Hollow, to build a log hut city for their winter camp and how the camp saved the army – and the American Revolution – from the brink of disaster. The film follows the soldiers' experiences through the winter and into the springtime: clashes with the British, stealing, starvation, and a near-mutiny. Based on John T. Cunningham’s book The Uncertain Revolution and shot on location at Morristown National Historical Park, NJ. 30 minutes; 2010

Once scarred by landfills and toxic waste sites, these regions have evolved from polluted eyesores into diverse habitats for wildlife. The half-hour documentary follows scientists, senior citizens and young children as they discover these urban wetlands' rich variety of plants and animals. 30 minutes; 2007
