Hollywood's American History

"Hollywood's American History" is a free, open to the public, history film series conducted each fall term at the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown. The series is sponsored by Pitt-Johnstown's chapter of Phi Alpha Theta International History Honor Society and by the History Club. The films are selected and presented by Dr. Paul Douglas Newman, Assistant Professor of History and Dan Santoro, Associate Professor of Sociology.  Each film is preceded by a brief (15-25 minute) presentation that evaluates the film "as history," provides a historical context for the film, and which points out relevant questions or issues raised by directors and producers.
