GREENE — The Araxine Wilkins Sawyer Memorial will screen “In The Blood” by filmmaker and composer Sumner McKane at 2 and 7 p.m. Friday, Aug. 26, at 371 Sawyer Road.

This documentary film and multimedia presentation illustrates the life, history and character of turn-of-the-century Maine lumbermen and river drivers by creating a virtual journey into the historic Maine woods.

Lumbermen began living in logging camps in the Maine woods in the early 1800s. They were the pioneers who created a successful self-contained working community in the woods, and on whose backs the state’s economy and history were largely established. They were unique in their character, ethics, morals, strength and skills, and they symbolize Maine’s gritty and resilient reputation.

The film takes the audience into this rugged environment — into the camp, onto the haul roads, landings and yards, rivers and lakes.

It combines archived films, photographs, oral histories told by the men themselves, and live music by Sumner McKane and Joshua Robbins.

Admission is free and open to the public.
