Documentary about former Minneapolis Tribune journalist Molly Ivins comes to the MSP film festival
The Minneapolis St. Paul International Film Festival is underway, and one film that will be screened on Sunday is "Raise Hell: The Life & Times of Molly Ivins."
The Pulitzer Prize-nominated journalist became famous as a smart, salty and often outrageous newspaper columnist based in her home state of Texas. But Ivins started her career in the late 1960s as a police reporter for the old Minneapolis Tribune.
MPR News host Cathy Wurzer spoke with the documentary's director, Janice Engel, about Ivins and her legacy. Engel will be at a reception after the film's 4:30 p.m. screening on Sunday. You can learn more at the festival's website.
