Presented by Christopher Daley
This presentation, which is part travelogue and part history, will chronicle the story of Bonnie and Clyde separating the reality from the myth! For years the public has been fascinated with the story of this Dustbowl Romeo and Juliet. However, much of what we know is mainly from the 1967 movie "Bonnie and Clyde" and more recently a highly fictionalized made for T.V. Movie shown on A&E & the History Channel. Much myth, conjecture and outright lies have grown up about the two Texas bandits but when one delves into the true story of the two lovers a much more interesting and human story emerges; much better than Hollywood was able to depict. This one-hour historical presentation will tell that story using period photographs and movies plus modern photographs and video shot by myself. I have traveled through the states of Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, and Missouri on the "Trail of Bonnie and Clyde" photographing a making video of the sites of their homes, murders, robberies, shootouts, and hideouts.
