Event Details

Mother's Day (15 min): How do we expel Hatred? By Talking about the old path.

This short documentary carries invaluable teachings of peace and respect for life from the sovereign Kanienkehaka territory between New York State and Canada. Mother's day is not merely an annual holiday, but rather an ongoing, daily practice of thanks for the cycle of life.

Standing with Andy (15 min): A portrait of Andy Minniefield, Elder of Nyack whose peacemaking work brought us together in a time of crisis and fear. This film honors Andy's Kanienkehaka heritage within his broader story of under-celebrated African American history in Nyack.


Screenings will be followed by a discussion with Brooklyn Demme and Grandma Cindy Fountain.
