Film Screening: Building Hope

Description

BUILDING HOPE is a documentary film by Richard Kane and Melody Lewis-Kane. It shows us that there is hope to ending the suffering of homelessness. The stories are complex and hard to bear. The lack of affordable housing, substance use disorder, anxiety and depression, despair and lack of self esteem, domestic abuse, trauma, poverty, encampments, prison time, lost loved ones, brutal weather. How can this happen in “the richest country in the world”? This long U.S. reputation has brought throngs of asylum seekers escaping the fear of cartels and dictators, yearning to be free, hoping for a better life. This is what BUILDING HOPE is about even though it’s hard to believe that there is hope. But there is. We can all make a difference. When: November 2nd at 6:00 PM, with discussion to follow. Where: Boreal Theater in Millinocket, Maine Free Showing! Limited Seating 47.
