Anderson was a man who lived on the run from the FBI for many years and spent five of those years hiding, painting, and seeking spiritual guidance from within a cave in Tennessee. Anderson had landed on the FBI's Most Wanted list after multiple prison sentences, police shootouts, and prison escapes.
Director Scott Rabideau said his goal was to tell a story of survival and the healing power of art.
Tickets are free, but required to attend due to limited seating.

The film will be broadcast on PBS at a later date.
