Emmy & Peabody award winning, Oscar-nominated filmmaker David E. Simpson joins Mouse for a screening of his 1999 film Halsted Street, USA. This riveting, kaleidoscopic "road movie" traces this unique thoroughfare nearly 400 miles, from its origin in the cornfields of southern Illinois to its terminus in the city's boisterous heart. Along the way the film presents a fascinating and profoundly American cultural mosaic with Halsted Street as the thread that links a multitude of seemingly disparate communities. Narrated by Studs Terkel. Screening + Conversation with filmmaker to follow. Halsted Street, USA (1999, 57m)
