More later, but for now, here’s all the details on a flyer< just sent to me by, none other than, Adam Sings In the Timber. Sings is a member of the Indigenous Filmmakers Club on the UM campus here in Missoula. The Club is one of about four campus organizations sponsoring Farmer's visit with students. Come join the fun, entertainment, discussion and film viewing. Jodi Rave
