The Illinois Parables

Summary An experimental documentary comprised of regional vignettes about faith, force, technology and exodus. Eleven parables relay histories of settlement, removal, technological breakthrough, violence, messianism and resistance, all occurring somewhere in the state of Illinois.

In our desire to understand the inscrutable, whom do we end up blaming or endorsing? View more details
