Monument (Chapters 1-3) with Tim Geraghty, Sarah Halpern (Filmmakers)

Monument is an aptly named six-part documentary by Tim Geraghty and Sarah Halpern, an essay film on the history of Rhode Island. It explores the contemporary ramifications of that history, weaving together statues, plaques, and place names with the routine movements of everyday life. This film illustrates how local issues can blossom into a body of insights and speculations extending far beyond regional borders, making it both hyper-specific and profoundly wide-ranging.
