Sons & Daughters of Thunder, a new film by Emmy-nominated filmmakers Kelly and Tammy Rundle, is based on a play by Earlene Hawley and Curtis Heeter and tells the true story of the 1834 Lane Seminary Debates. Organized by Theodore Weld, one of the architects of the abolitionist movement, the shocking oratory sparked intense controversy and awakened a young Harriet Beecher (Stowe) to the horrors of slavery. Beecher-Stowe went on to pen “Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” The novel changed American public opinion in favor of abolition.
Through its fiscal sponsor, the Moline Foundation, Thunder has received a grant from Quad City Arts Dollars --funding provided by the Illinois Arts Council Agency, Hubbell-Waterman Foundation, and John Deere; and the Illinois Arts Council.
