The Secret History of Donnelly 2021

Directed by Mike Scholtz

Ignatius Donnelly is Minnesota's most famous forgotten man. Even though he was a bestselling author, a U.S. Congressperson and the leader of a populist farmer's movement, few people remember his accomplishments today. Duluth-based filmmaker Mike Scholtz’s short story begins near the tiny town of Donnelly, Minnesota and takes viewers on a wild ride, beginning with a tragic death and ending in the lost city of Atlantis.
