Join them for the debut of Film Shorts in the Park, a series of free outdoor movies by Triangle film makers! Featured are two short documentaries: Patrick Shanahan’s The No Hand King and Kimberly Best’s That Deputy Sheriff Might Surprise You. “No Hand King" Rodney Hines has been riding no-hand wheelies in Raleigh for more than 10 years. This film shares Hines" life story—from never knowing his father and his own years behind bars, to overcoming poverty and abandonment to set the world record for the longest no-hand wheelie: 16 miles. That Deputy Sheriff Might Surprise You tells the story of Lucy Zastrow, who in 1979 became the first female deputy in the Durham County Sheriff’s Office. During a 30-year career in law enforcement, she was promoted to lieutenant, captain and then major. Formidable even as a child and dubbed “The Shark” by her colleagues, she proved herself to be tough but fair. Picnics welcome. No alcohol permitted. Lawn chairs or blankets recommended.
