SMDCAC presents film NUTS! by Penny Lane

Nov 11, 2016, 8:30 PM

Inventive and wildly fun, NUTS! recounts the mostly-true story of John Romulus Brinkley, a Kansas doctor who in 1917 discovered that he could cure impotence by transplanting goat testicles into men. From there, the story only gets more bizarre.

Penny Lane is an award-winning American nonfiction filmmaker who was named one of Filmmaker Magazine’s “25 New Faces of Independent Film” in 2012. The film NUTS! was premiered at Sundance 2016, where it won a Special Jury Award for Editing. Her debut the feature-length documentary OUR NIXON won the Ken Burns Award for “Best of the Festival” at Ann Arbor, and was selected as the Closing Night Film at New Directors/New Films.
