The 60-minute documentary film “Pearl Harbor: Into the Arizona” will be shown at 7 p.m. on Thursday\, Jan. 27. The battleship USS Arizona was sunk during the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7\, 1941\, at a cost of 1\,177 lives. Many of the bodies of those killed were never recovered and the ship is regarded as a cemetery and sacred space. Divers are not permitted entry to preserve the sanctity of the site\, so remote underwater vehicles (ROVs) were used to take an in-depth look inside the ship and assess its condition\, revealing a moving picture of life aboard the ship on that fateful morning. The picture is all the more poignant through personal stories shared by several veterans who survived the attack\, including one veteran who returns for what might be his last visit to the ship on which he served.    URL:https://wvculture.org/event/film-grave-creek/ LOCATION:Grave Creek Mound\, 801 Jefferson Ave\, Moundsville\, WV\, 26041\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://wvculture.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Film.jpg GEO:39.9168689;-80.7443618 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Grave Creek Mound 801 Jefferson Ave Moundsville WV 26041 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=801 Jefferson Ave:geo:-80.7443618,39.9168689 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20220225T080000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20220227T200000 DTSTAMP:20240712T012731 CREATED:20210909T145000Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210910T195646Z UID:3216-1645776000-1645992000@wvculture.org SUMMARY:West Virginia Dance Festival Adjudications DESCRIPTION:Dance Schools\, Studios\, and Companies from around the state come to be adjudicated for a spot in the nightly performances during the West Virginia Dance Festival.
