Description

“Agnes,” a critically-acclaimed documentary film which chronicles the Agnes Flood of 1972, will be screened on Friday, June 21, at the Millennium Circle at River Common in Wilkes-Barre. 

This will be the only public screening of the film this year and is being shown in conjunction with Riverfest 2024 and in partnership with the Riverfront Parks Committee and Wilkes-Barré Preservation Society. This will be a one-time-only unique opportunity to watch the Agnes documentary right alongside the Susquehanna River in the exact location where many of the events depicted in the film occurred, including the gallant sandbagging efforts to save the Wyoming Valley. 

Showtime is 8 p.m. The screening will be free and open to the public.
