"Wanda and the Youngsters" CAST Documentary Program
How much do you know about New Ulm’s own Wanda Gag and her family? This program is an autobiography by Flavia Gág with a glimpse into the lives of her talented and fiercely independent family, particularly sister Wanda Gág. Adapted from Flavia's own manuscripts, diaries and letters, with information added from other sources. This program discusses the effects of the loss of their parents on the family, how they struggled through extreme poverty, and how Wanda kept the seven orphans, or “youngsters” as she called them, together. Fascinating details and pictures of their lives, not often heard or seen, are included in the program. Follow the family’s lives from their humble beginnings in New Ulm, to New York, New Jersey and beyond. Provided by OxCart Productions. Provided by the CAST Senior Center, our Documentary Programs provide an endless variety of interesting subjects in a prerecorded, professional film format. They take us across the country and around the world, experiencing and learning about places and people which we wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity to experience. Our documentaries are entertaining, informative, and inspiring. They offer a unique and powerful form of storytelling that captures your attention and provoke thought and discussion. Scheduled every Tuesday afternoon, unless noted, at 1pm at the CAST Senior Center, our Documentary Programs are free and open to the public. There are no membership dues and everyone is welcome to attend. Programming is provided by Curiosity U and other online providers. Check out our documentary program schedule every month and join us. We look forward to seeing you!
