Dogpatch, which tells the history of the rural theme park once located outside Harrison, will be screened at the UAM Documentary Film Festival.

The University of Arkansas at Monticello, in conjunction with the Hot Springs Documentary Film Institute, will host its 10th annual Documentary Film Festival from 8 a.m.-3 p.m. March 9-10 in the auditorium of UAM’s Memorial Classroom Building.

Admission is free.

This year’s festival includes two feature films -- Woodruff: A Lesson of Non-Violence and The Crisis Mr. Faubus Made: The Role of the Arkansas Gazette in the Central High Crisis. Both deal with racial issues in Little Rock.

The first film tells the story of Little Rock’s Woodruff Elementary School and its stand against violence that changed the lives of a generation of students from a broken neighborhood.

The second documents the leadership role of the Gazette in the 1957 desegregation crisis at Little Rock Central High School.

Another Arkansas-related film is Dogpatch, which tells the history of the rural theme park once located outside Harrison.
