Free Screening of White Elephant at City of Miami City Hall
|
(Miami, Florida) – City of Miami Commissioner Marc D. Sarnoff (District 2), joined by Mayor Manny Diaz and City Manager Pete Hernandez invite the community to the screening of the documentary film White Elephant- What is There to Save? The screening takes place Friday, July 20th, 2007 from 7:00 – 9:00 p.m. at City Hall Chambers, 3500 Pan American Drive, Coconut Grove. Admission is free and is open to the public. Seating is limited.
White Elephant tells the remarkable story of Miami / Bobby Maduro Stadium - one of South Florida's most unforgettable architectural icons. The film is a testament to the unyielding common ground that exists in this diverse community. The story of Miami Stadium leads from its pristine field to the jungles of Cuba's Sierra Maestra Mountains; from the hallowed halls of the U.S. Congress to the tumultuous streets of Miami. It is a story that links these seemingly disparate places in a fascinating web of social, political and personal intrigue. It is also a story about a building destined for greatness yet doomed to a future of unrealized potential; of a group of visionaries fueled by the magic of a city where fantasies have always been the common currency; and it is about a teenage boy prematurely thrust into the limelight's uncomfortable glow in a town on the verge of history.
