Saxonburg residents will get a third chance to see a Brooklyn Bridge documentary currently unavailable for streaming anywhere in the United States.
The documentary, “Brooklyn Bridge: An Engineering Masterpiece,” will be screened at the South Butler Community Library on Friday, May 29, at 1 p.m. and 6 p.m. Seating is limited for both viewings and reservations are required to attend.
Some segments of the documentary were filmed in 2021 in Saxonburg, the borough founded by the bridge’s architect, John Roebling. The documentary was released in 2023, but so far has only been officially released in Europe.
The South Butler Library previously screened the documentary in May 2023 and May 2024.
