A Tolstoy Film Starring Children

Tonight on the Front Porch, we're previewing the new film "Alyosha the Pot". It's an adaptation of Tolstoy's short story by the same name, and in this version, children play all the parts. It was produced in New Hampshire by local filmmakers, and it was shot at Canterbury Shaker Village. We'll talk with Paul Schick, co-director of the film, and Tolstoy scholar Michael Denner will give us background on the Russian writer and his connection to the Shakers. Denner is the Editor of the Tolstoy Studies Journal and professor in the Russian Studies Department at Stetson University.
