McMenamins Mission Theater, 1624 NW Glisan Street, Portland
Free and open to the public.
Through a documentary written and directed by Michael Turner, this OE
History Night tells the story of
Vesper Geer. It chronicles her love for the small farm and her struggle to
keep it in the family through
her photographs, letters, journals, audio tapes and video recordings. *The
Oregonian* reviewed the films
as, “A beautifully conceived and executed tribute to continuity and
preservation.... Rich for the eyes, ears,
and memory.” The *Willamette Week* described it as, “A gentle meander
through one woman’s average
existence.”
