Town Destroyer is a 2022 documentary that discusses the art, history, struggle, and politics around the Victor Arnautoff murals at George Washington High School.
According to its production company: "TOWN DESTROYER explores how to look at art and history at a time of polarized national debate over the power of images, racism, trauma, and what should be taught in schools. A dispute erupts at a San Francisco high school over Depression-era murals about the life of George Washington: slaveowner, military leader, land speculator, President, and a man Native leaders called 'Town Destroyer' after he ordered their villages destroyed during the Revolutionary War."
In Spring 2023, the Cañada College Library, along with Student Life, will be showing a screening of Town Destroyer. The filmmakers Alan Snitow and Deborah Kaufman will be present for a talk and Q & A. Check back for more details closer to the event!
