A narrative short film about Dollar, a single father and drug dealer who must prove his worth to his mother and young daughter. LUMBEELAND follows one family that must reckon with the harm they have caused, discovering what happens when we reap what we sow. A tragic tale exploring how we hurt the ones we love, even when we want to protect them – that anger and greed lead us to betray those we are closest to, even ourselves.

“Where is John Sevier’s head and hand?” That was the type of question that was asked on August 14, 2002, when it was discovered that Gen. John Sevier, 1745-1815, East Tennessee sculptor Edgar W. Bowlin’s masterpiece, had been vandalized.

Join the team at the East Tennessee History Center at 2:00 pm, Sunday, November 17, 2024, as they unveil what remains of Gen. John Sevier, 1745-1815. You will have the opportunity to meet the family of sculptor Edgar W. Bowlin and other individuals who played a role in preserving this unique East Tennessee work of art from its display inside a Kingsport bank to its fateful hours on the site of the 1982 World’s Fair.

“It doesn’t bother me that it doesn’t have a head. I’ve been to Europe many times, and in Europe there are thousands of headless, legless, and armless statues. It’s about time America had a few headless statues.”–William James “Jim” Cortese, local arborist who helped preserve the sculpture, “The Headless Governor,” Metro Pulse, July 15, 2010

Was the vandalism a Rush Week dare carried out by fraternity pledges, as some believe, or was it simply a random act? Is John Sevier’s head sitting on a shelf in a fraternity house, or has it been discarded, perhaps at the bottom of the Tennessee River?
