Documentary Film Reconstruction Destructed to Premiere at the Capri Theater June 25th

Reconstruction Destructed, the latest collaborative documentary film production between OMG Studios and Minnesota Humanities Center

SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA, UNITED STATES, June 5, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- This FREE community event is part of Minnesota Humanities Center’s 2025 Juneteenth Commemoration Series and features a screening of the Reconstruction Destructed documentary, post screening discussion, and live musical performances.

The film, sixth in the “Juneteenth Reckoning with Slavery” film series, aims to shine a light on the most misunderstood period in American History and why it remains critically important to understand today. “It challenges our understanding of the impact of slavery and its ongoing impact throughout the United States,” said Monique Linder, Film Director and CEO, OMG Studios. “As our nation struggles to come to grips with our history of racial caste, the legal luminaries, civil rights leaders, and educational scholars are excellent guides not only to illuminate the past but more importantly to provide a path forward,” added Kevin Lindsey, CEO, Minnesota Humanities Center.

WHEN: June 25th, 6:00 – 9:00 PM CDT
