Sunday, September 11, 7:00pm

419 Main St, Franklin, TN
Franklin Theatre

The Franklin Theatre is pleased to be hosting the Regional Premiere screening of Mysterious Circumstance: The Death of Meriwether Lewis! At this exclusive event, the director will give opening remarks prior to the screening, and there will be a Q & A with Clark Richey, writer & director, and Amye Gousset, lead actress & producer afterward.

So, what’s the plot? In 1809, Meriwether Lewis (of the famous Lewis & Clark duo) died of gunshot wounds at Grinder’s Stand on the Natchez Trace. Did he, as then-governor of the Louisiana Territory, commit suicide, as is widely believed? Or was his end far more sinister? Entangled versions of the explorer and surveyor Lewis’ death at a remote Tennessee inn are imagined by his friend Alexander Wilson (Billy Slaughter, Mindhunter) during a tense encounter with Priscilla Grinder (Amye Gousset, The Card Counter) – the only witness to the American explorer’s final night alive. The new historical thriller from writer/director Clark Richey brings together an award-winning cast and crew, including John Schneider (The Dukes of Hazzard), Sonny Marinelli (Entourage) and Evan Williams (Versailles) as Lewis, and took home both the Best Feature Award at the Julien Dubuque International Film Festival (Dubuque, Iowa) and the Gasparilla International Film Festival (Tampa, Florida) Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature. Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind local film experience that covers a historic event that occured here in Tennessee at Grinder’s Stand on the Natchez Trace!
