Movie Night At The Malden Public Library

Please Join Us For A Great Movie Based On A True Story During The War Of 1812

Join us for Movie Night at the Malden Public Library on Wednesday, June 26, 2024 from 6:00-7:15pm. We will be showing a film by local filmmaker, Dante D’Amore, called Lightkeepers. This film is based on the true story of two sisters, Abigail and Rebecca Bates, who “fought off” the British troops during the war of 1812 by using a fife and drum. The film stars Kayla Caulfield, Lily Ayotte, and David Pridemore.

“During the War of 1812, two sisters at Scituate Lighthouse, armed only with a fife and drum, frightened away armed men of the British warship, La Hogue, fooling the British into thinking that an armed militia was on shore awaiting them.” Not Rated (60 min.) (2022)

Lightkeepers was filmed locally in Duxbury, Marshfield, Salem & Plymouth, Massachusetts.
