Plimoth Patuxet Museums to Host Director and Pulitzer-Prize Winning Reporter David Abel
An October 19th program will showcase his latest documentary
Plymouth, Massachusetts (October 10, 2024) – Plimoth Patuxet Museums is pleased to host David Abel, director and Pulitzer-Prize winning reporter for The Boston Globe, for an evening event exploring his latest film, Inundation District, on October 19, 6 - 9 pm. This will be Mr. Abel’s second film event at the Museum, following June’s successful screening of his documentary, In the Whale.
The evening will begin in Plimoth Patuxet’s Gainsborough Hall where guests will enjoy a selection of wines and seasonal hors d’oeuvres. Directly following this gathering, guests will head to the Ruby Linn Theater for the screening of Inundation District. The documentary thoughtfully chronicles the struggle of rising water levels in Boston’s Seaport District. Following the film, guests will enjoy a Q&A session with Director David Abel.
“We are so pleased to welcome Director David Abel back to the Museum for a screening of his new film, Inundation District,” said Christina Coleman, Director of Education and Group Programs. “Plimoth Patuxet prides itself on providing a rich roster of educational programs to our diverse audiences and this event is a unique opportunity to connect with the filmmaker while exploring this important topic.”
Proceeds from the evening will support Plimoth Patuxet Museums' educational mission. Tickets to this program are available at: https://plimoth.org/events/a-evening-of-food-and-film-inundation-district-screening
