Sensational Sundays: Vanishing Knowledge
Sensational Sundays: Vanishing Knowledge
Join us for a free screening of Vanishing Knowledge, a film directed by Ejaz Khan. Following the film will be a conversational style Q&A. Vanishing Knowledge is a film based on a true story of a small community in Linton, North Dakota, who is working tirelessly to save one of America’s oldest treasures, the Nokota® Horse. With only about 800 Nokota® horses alive worldwide, the fate of this ancient, unique breed is threatened. Frank Kuntz, a Vietnam War veteran, has spent his entire life preserving a unique herd of 300 of these horses, which are very useful for human therapy. Due to Frank’s cancer from the effects of agent orange during the Vietnam War, he is finding it extremely difficult to provide for these horses as he did in the past. At this point, the doctors aren’t giving Frank much time to live. The question is – how can Frank ensure the survival of this breed when his time is limited? This event is part of the State Historical Society of North Dakota's Sensational Sundays series. Sensational Sundays are free cultural programs that include a variety of lectures, concerts, movies, and tours.
