The March 1 screening of the Muscle Shoals documentary was a big hit amongst crowds. In particular, the screening left a big impression on the University of North Alabama students who viewed the documentary.

“I never realized how rich the musical culture was here in the Shoals,” said Lauren Daley, a UNA student. “I was so impressed with the screening and found it was a very enjoyable way to spend the evening. I left proud to be from the Shoals.”

Students received free tickets to the documentary, which was screened as part of the George Lindsey UNA Film Festival.

The screening was introduced by The Civil Wars star and UNA alumnus John Paul White.

“Our secret will finally be revealed to the world,” he said. “This is each and every one of us.”
