Library to Present Film on the Jungle

The Tompkins County Public Library will offer a free showing of the film The Jungle’s Edge, Saturday, November 3, 2007 from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM in the Borg Warner Community Meeting Room.

Filmed by Ithaca College Professor Gossa Tsegaye and Freeville resident David Fogel, The Jungle’s Edge chronicles daily life in the wooded enclave that runs between the Cayuga Lake Inlet and the railroad tracks of Ithaca’s West End.

The Jungle has been a sanctuary for Ithaca’s homeless and those seeking a freedom that cannot be found in a structured society for more than 70 years.

A discussion and screening of the 1988 documentary The Dividing Line and footage from Ithaca Made Movies will follow the 30-minute presentation of The Jungle’s Edge. View the flyer at http://www.tcpl.org/programs/IthacaMadeMovies2007WestEnd.pdf.
