Letter to Anita is the story of Dr. Ronni Sanlo whose personal, political, and professional struggles shaped her life of community-building and activism. The documentary follows the heart-wrenching path of singer Anita Bryant's anti-gay campaign, its shattering effect on Sanlo's family, and the redemptive power of forgiveness. Ryan Cowmeadow from the Area Agency on Aging 1-B will emcee and Dr. Sanlo will host the screening with a special introduction from Jim Toy, well-known community activist and founder of what is now the UM Spectrum Center. In addition, we will welcome local favorites George Bedard and the Kingpins.
