Chautauqua Cinema to show ‘Fire in the Heartland’ documentary on Kent protests, shootings
On May 4, 1970, Thomas Grace was attending classes at Kent State University. Anti-war protests were scheduled to continue on the campus for the fourth day in response to the United States’ invasion of Cambodia.
Grace was asked not to attend by his then-girlfriend, whose brother had died in Vietnam.

Film: Fire in the Heartland
Don’t miss this outstanding film this Thursday, May 7 at 6 PM at the old Bijou (492 E. 13th Ave. Eugene). It tells the truth and inspires unlike the recent PBS documentary about “the end of the sixties” quoting Buchanan of all people at length and suggesting that Nixon felt terrible about the student deaths. What lies! This film and the Nixon tapes tell a completely different story America needs to hear.
Fire in the Heartland
The heart and soul of this film are the interviews with over twenty of the people who were at Kent State together during the protests and the events before, after and during the shootings on May 4, 1970. The process of making Fire in the Heartland over many years has educated me and provided me with grace, wisdom, camaraderie, fun and more than a little help from my friends. I have also experienced working with a new generation of young people on the film. I am honored to do so.
