SUMMARY:JOIN OR DIE
DESCRIPTION:Join or Die is a film about why you should join a club — and why the fate of America depends on it. In this feature documentary\, follow the half-century story of America’s civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam\, whose groundbreaking “Bowling Alone” research into America’s decades-long decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy’s present crisis. Flanked by influential fans and scholars — from Hillary Clinton\, Pete Buttigieg\, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to Eddie Glaude Jr.\, Raj Chetty\, and Priya Parker — as well as inspiring groups building community in neighborhoods across the country\, join Bob as he explores three urgent civic questions: What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And\, most importantly… What can we do about it? \nDirectors: Pete Davis\, Rebecca Davis \nStars: Robert Putnam\, Pete Buttigieg\, Raj Chetty \nThis event is in partnership with North Shore Civic Club. \n

SUMMARY:MOUNTAIN
DESCRIPTION:An exploration of our obsessions with high places and how they have come to capture our imagination. Only three centuries ago\, climbing a mountain would have been considered close to lunacy. The idea scarcely existed that wild landscapes might hold any attraction. Peaks were places of peril\, not beauty. \n\n\n\nDirector: Jennifer Peedom\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNarrator: Willem Dafoe\n\n\n\nThis film is part of the First Thursdays Series and is generously supported by Sheffield Foundation
