FILM Presentation BY TRINA LOPEZ Short notice! In order to fit the film makers schedule, we're seizing the opportunity as she's making a special showing for us. Following the Great Earthquake and Fire of 1906, San Francisco rose from it's own ashes the phoenix to become one of the liveliest cities in America. How is it that it also managed to banish nearly all of its dead? A Second Final Rest film exhumes the hidden history of how this modern metropolis managed to systematically relocate nearly all of its burial grounds to make room for the living. Through recollections of residents who remember these forgotten graveyards to reflections on present day convicts that pit the living against the dead. A Second Final Rest reveals an astonishing chapter in the history of the American West in which those who settled the City by the Bay were unceremoniously sent packing long after they had passed from this world. The film will be shown at the Balboa street new headquarters of Outsidelands.org or the Western Neighborhoods Project which has partnered with our SF Tour Guide Guild to offer their new venue for the presentation by Trina. We want our SF guild members to check out the organization. Western Neighborhoods Project gives great history walks and talks, publish a quarterly member magazine, produce some fun weekly podcasts and host of other articles on the history of the west side of the city. The film a Second Final Rest has captivated viewers and is a reminder that fact can be far stranger than fiction. It will intrigue history buffs and will give guides a great story to tell on your city tours.
