Award-winning film “Kudzu” shown at GPC Dunwoody Campus

Dunwoody Screens will present the 40th anniversary screening of the 1977 Academy Award-winning documentary short, “Kudzu,” on Saturday, Sept. 19, at 7 p.m. in the Georgia Perimeter College Dunwoody Campus Auditorium.

“Kudzu” is an entertaining film about the vine that grew wildly out of control across the South when it was transplanted to try to control soil erosion. The film, produced and directed by Marjorie Short, also features poet James Dickey and former President Jimmy Carter.

The free film will be followed by a question-and-answer session with Short, who is coming from Boston for the occasion.
