Michelle Obama’s workshop on “Beasts of the Southern Wild”

Colleen Curtis, writing for the White House blog:

First Lady Michelle Obama today welcomed 80 middle and high school students to an interactive workshop with the cast and crew of the film Beasts of the Southern Wild, in the State Dining Room. The students, who were from Washington, DC and New Orleans, LA, got to talk with director Benh Zeitlin, actor Dwight Henry and the movie’s 9-year-old star, Oscar-nominated actress Quvenzhané Wallis, who stars as Hushpuppy.

You can see the entire workshop, moderated by Rachel Goslins, Executive Director of the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities, on YouTube.
