Filmmaker Paul Wagner will talk about the challenges and treacheries of the
creative process as applied to the telling of historical stories on film
and television. If you thought a documentary was, by definition, the truth,
you're in for a surprise. Mr. Wagner will present clips from his films,
including "A Paralyzing Fear, the Story of Polio in America," to illustrate
how filmmakers control our perceptions of the past and of reality itself.
"A Paralyzing Fear" won the Eric Barnouw Award for Best Historical Film of
1998.

School of Medicine Continuing Medical Education Program as an educational
service for the University of Virginia Health System and interested
citizens in the community.  The Library hopes that the speakers and topics
selected will promote a greater understanding of the historical and
philosophical underpinnings of today's health care disciplines.
