A documentary rooted in Washington County history is garnering attention across the U.S. and internationally, and there will be one more local opportunity to see it.

Saving Brinton follows local historian Michael Zahs and his efforts to preserve and promote some of the world’s oldest films in existence. The films once belonged to Frank and Indiana Brinton.

Zahs shares why he feels the story resonates with many audiences, “A lot of documentaries are very serious, very important, very socially responsible, our’s is some of that, but it’s also just kind of fun. And I think that is something that people, especially the way some of the things are happening in the world, they just want to come out of something and feel good, and this kind of does. And it identifies so many people back to small towns, to the Midwest, and that’s a real strong pull.” The film also shows scenery of Washington County and local festivals.

Tickets are $10 and are available at Jones & Eden Funeral Home, Hills Bank and Trust Company Washington, The Village, the Washington Chamber of Commerce, and available at the door. The show begins at 7 p.m. at the Washington Community Center.
