SUMMARY:US@250 Big Watch | The American Revolution Film Screening + Town History Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:Join us to commemorate and reflect upon the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence with a film screening and discussion! \nWhen: Saturday\, May 16\nWhere: Newfields Town Hall\nTime: 5-8pm \nDoors open at 5pm at the Town Hall where displays of Town history will be on exhibit before the film.  \nFilm screening will start promptly at 6pm. \nTogether\, we’ll watch a short excerpt from THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION\, a new film directed by Ken Burns\, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt\, followed by a community discussion. \nThe featured segment from THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION\,“The Spirit of Service\,” explores service as a core American value\, from the nation’s founding through to the present day – examining volunteerism\, civic participation\, public leadership\, and more. \nExpert facilitator Courtney Marshall will guide thoughtful conversations about “remembering together\,” considering questions such as: \n• What moments from our past define who we are and point to a shared future?\n• What are the key historical moments in your town’s or community’s history?\n• How does focusing on these moments shape your sense of your community’s future? \nInterested in watching the entire film series?
