Behind the Hedgerow: Eileen Slocum and the Meaning of Newport Society

(2010) documentary

Another feature-length excursion from G. Wayne Miller and David Bettencourt, makers of On the Lake, the 2008 documentary about Zambarano Hospital. This one is about the life and times of the late Eileen Slocum, Newport's "last grande dame," and largely features narration mined from a series of interviews conducted with her by Miller for his 2000 Providence Journal series on Newport Society, "A Nearly Perfect Summer."

Behind the Hedgerow premiered on the opening night of the Rhode Island International Film Festival on August 10, 2010, at the Veteran's Memorial Auditorium in Providence.
