Packed House for ‘Letters From Baghdad’ Screening

There was a packed house today at Westport Town Hall for the screening of the documentary film “Letters From Baghad.” As part of the WestportREADS 2018 program, the Westport Library and the Westport Cinema Initiative co-hosted the event. The film tells the story of Gertrude Bell, British spy, explorer and political powerhouse who shaped the modern Middle East after World War I in ways that still reverberate today. After the film, a discussion with the filmmakers was moderated by Westport Library Board of Trustee member Maggie Mudd. (CLICK TO ENLARGE) Contributed photo
