Acclaimed filmmaker and producer Martin Doblmeier will be the featured speaker at an early afternoon event at Luther on Friday, April 12th from 1 pm to 2:30 pm in OCC10. Doblmeier is renowned for his films on Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Reinhold Niebuhr, the Amish Community and Forgiveness, Chaplains, and now a brand new film on African American Christian contemplative and civil rights activist, Howard Thurman.

Doblmeier will be joined by a group of students and pastoral leaders who will engage him in conversation, opening up a dialogue with the larger group who gathers. Come and join us for a vivid and exciting discussion!

Luther is co-sponsoring an evening showing of the film “Backs Against the Wall: The Howard Thurman Story” at St. Kate’s on the evening of April 12th. This is a free event, but you need to register in advance. Current student Timothy Jackson, and adjunct faculty member Vivian Jenkins Nelsen, will be part of the discussion following the film.
