37 USES FOR A DEAD SHEEP
Monday, February 26, 7pm Wang Theater
If you thought that a dead sheep was just useful for wool and/or a meal, watching this documentary will change your view. This award-winning piece takes a droll and affectionate look at the last hundred years in the history and culture of the Pamir Kirghiz, a tribe originating in Central Asia. Driven out from the USSR, Maoist China, and Afghanistan during the Soviet invasion, the tribe moved nomadically until an appeal for international assistance led them to Eastern Turkey, where they have lived for the last 30 years.
This film is an engaging glimpse into the tribe's past, showing their resilience and humor, and also touching on the younger generation's contrasting hopes for the future.
Tickets: $5.00 General Admission; $4.00 students, seniors, and Port Jefferson Arts Council members. Call (631) 928-9100 or (631) 473-5220.
