[Friday, December 4, 12:00-1:00pm, British Studies (5th floor of Norlin Library)] CHA's Performance Friday! featuring Ernesto Acevedo Munoz, Chair of the Film Studies Program, who will show his new documentary (56 minutes), Hillmon's Bones, illustrating the search for answers to a 130 year-old mystery. A young widow, a decades-long lawsuit, suspected insurance fraud, two grave exhumations, six separate trials, and two unusual Supreme Court rulings culminate in a riveting tale. The contested identity of a corpse buried in Lawrence, Kansas results in an investigation to determine the name of the victim of this “death by misadventure.” With an understanding of anthropology, law, and biometric technology, a grave exhumation reveals a solution previously impossible. The movie captures two parallel narratives that naturally intertwine. The first is the 1879 case of the death of John W. Hilllmon, which poses the question, 'was it an accident or a homicide to perpetrate insurance fraud?' The second chronicles the unlikely partnership between three University of Colorado professors from different disciplines (Law, Film, and Anthropology), as they seek a solution to the mystery. Directed and produced by Ernesto Acevedo-Muñoz. Doors open at 11:30 for a free, light lunch. For further information, please contact Paula Anderson, 303-492-1423.
