Screening of the documentary film 'Who Killed the Fourth Ward?' at Mt. Horeb Baptist Church.
Mt. Horeb Baptist Church is hosting a screening of the documentary Who Killed the Fourth Ward? on Monday, October 5, from 7 PM to 9:30 PM. The film takes its title from the neighborhood it examines, and the screening is being held at the church, which sits at 118 W Gray St in Houston.
The documentary focuses on the Fourth Ward, a historic part of the city that's undergone significant change over the years. If you've spent any time around that area, you know it's a place where the old Houston and the new one are constantly rubbing up against each other, and the film looks at the forces that have shaped it. It's the kind of thing that's easier to see on a screen than to piece together from a few drive-bys, so seeing it in a theater—and in the city it's about—gives it a different weight.

Because it's a documentary, the evening is built around the film itself rather than a live performance or a staged show. It runs for two and a half hours, so you'll be in your seat for the full stretch from 7 PM through 9:30 PM. The church is located at 118 W Gray St, right in the heart of the area the film covers, which puts the whole thing in context. If you're interested in Houston's neighborhoods and how they've changed, this is a good place to start. The screening runs from 7 PM to 9:30 PM on Monday, October 5, at Mt. Horeb Baptist Church.
