Tony Buba & Marcus Rediker Present: “Becoming Benjamin Lay”
City of Asylum is delighted to host this screening of Becoming Benjamin Lay, a new documentary from director Tony Buba and historian Marcus Rediker. The film explores the life and ideas of an unknown radical Quaker dwarf abolitionist who demanded an end to slavery almost 300 years ago. At the center of the film is the prize-winning play Marcus wrote with Naomi Wallace, The Return of Benjamin Lay. In this film adaptation, actor Mark Povinelli embodies the visionary Lay, challenging us to live with courage and conviction in dark times, bringing a forgotten hero back to modern public memory.
You can purchase Marcus Rediker and Naomi Wallace’s The Return of Benjamin Lay, at City of Asylum Bookstore.
