Two major screenings of the film surround the anniversary of Carl Sandburg's death (which occurred on July 22nd 1967) to audiences that are closely linked to the story of Sandburg. First in Chicago on July 23rd, The Day Carl Sandburg Died will screen in the city where Sandburg emerged as a ground-breaking poet and journalist in the Blue Whiskey Independent Film Festival.  And then on Tuesdsay, July 26th the film will screen at the Flat Rock Playhouse across the street from his final home in Flat Rock, N.C. which became a National Historic Site celebrating his life.  This screening is a fundraising event for The Friends of Carl Sandburg at Connemara, a group dedicating in supporting the National Historic Site and Sandburg's legacy. Director Paul Bonesteel will be at both events and will conduct a Q&A session after each screening.
