As sharp, funny and scathingly irreverent as its subject, opening at The Ross Oct. 11, “Raise Hell: The Life & Times of Molly Ivins” pays entertaining tribute to a brilliant writer.

“Raise Hell: The Life & Times of Molly Ivins” tells the story of media firebrand Molly Ivins, six feet of Texas trouble who took on the Good Old Boy corruption wherever she found it. Her razor-sharp wit left both sides of the aisle laughing and craving ink in her columns. She knew the Bill of Rights was in peril and said “Polarizing people is a good way to win an election and a good way to wreck a country.” Molly’s words have proved prescient. Now it’s up to us to raise hell!

This program is being presented with the support of the Nebraska Arts Council and the Nebraska Cultural Endowment.

“Raise Hell: The Life & Times of Molly Ivins” is showing at the Mary Riepma Ross Media Arts Center through Oct. 17. Show times are available at www.TheRoss.org, by consulting your newspaper, or by calling the MRRMAC film information line at 402.472.5353.
