Event Description
Saving Brinton is an enchanting 90-minute documentary that tells the story of a collection of 130 early nitrate films.
The focus of the documentary was initially the discovery of a rare collection of some of the earliest motion pictures, stored in an Iowa shed. But it soon shifted to an iconic rural figure, Michael Zahs, a retired junior high teacher from rural Washington, Ia., who is known all over the state for his history presentations, including these rare films.
