Meet John Doe (1941) is Frank Capra's wonderful, message-laden populist tale about the common man. There will be a lecture the next day and this showing is part of the American Lectures in the History of Religions: The Cinematic Sacred being hosted at Wake Forest with Jeffrey Stout, Professor of Religion, Princeton University on Wednesday, February 27 5:00p.m. The lecture is titled, "Fake News, Modern Horrors, and Democratic Hope: Why Capra’s Populist Christ Figure Fell Flat."
Professor Stout is well-known for his work in ethics, social criticism, political thought, modern theology, film, and theories of religion. He served as president of the American Academy of Religion in 2007 and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. (https://www.princeton.edu/~stout/stout_hmp.htm)
