The Lyric Theatre, 135 College Ave. in Blacksburg, will present a one-time screening of Rock Castle Home at 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 17.

The 57-minute documentary recounts in detail the history of a 1930s Virginia mountain community displaced by the Blue Ridge Parkway. Told through the words of community members working to preserve their history and identity, Rock Castle Home tells a universal story about the human fight to preserve its stories despite the political, economic, and natural forces that seek to subsume them.

General admission tickets are $15.

The event will feature a performance by Ashlee Watkins and Andrew Small, composers and performers featured in the film.

The screening will be followed by a question-and-answer session with Beverly Woody and Leslie Shelor, key narrators for the movie.

Woody is a local journalist, public school teacher, organizer of the Rock Castle descendants, and public historian. She traces her ancestry in Rock Castle back some 200 years.

Shelor is a local historian, hiking guide, author, podcaster, and co-author of Rock Castle: A special history study for the Blue Ridge Parkway.
