SUMMARY:Concord - Finding Refuge: Crossroads Film Series - Anote's Ark
DESCRIPTION:Finding Refuge: Crossroads Film and Discussion Series \nAnote’s Ark \nWednesday\, March 20th\, 7 PM \nRed River Theatres  \n11 S Main St #L1 \nConcord\, NH 03301 \nTickets are free for the public\, but space is limited. Reserve your tickets today! \nAbout Anote’s Ark \nWhat happens when your nation is swallowed by the sea? With the harsh realities of climate change looming\, the low-lying Pacific nation Kiribati must find a new solution for the survival of its people. With sweeping cinematography\, Anote’s Ark interweaves two poignant stories. Anote Tong\, endearing president of the island\, races to find options-advocating in international climate negotiations and even investigating building underwater cities. At the same time\, warm and sharp-witted Sermery\, a young mother of six\, tackles every struggle with humour. She must decide whether to leave the only culture she knows on the island and migrate to a new life in New Zealand. Anote’s Ark captures the next evolution in the shifting dynamics of climate change-one where borders\, technology\, and global treaties are urgent and can change daily life as we know it. This portrait of the Kiribati people exudes strength of character and grace as they confront the inevitable change they are facing head-on. \nWatch the Trailer:

DESCRIPTION:My American Dream: A Life of Love\, Family\, and Food\n\n\n\nBuy Tickets\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n7pm — Writers on a New England Stage event \n8pm — Post-show Reception for Director’s Club begins. This reception is open to Patron-level members and up. Kindly RSVP here. \nThe bestselling cookbook author\, beloved and award-winning television personality\, and hugely successful restaurateur\, Lidia Bastianich comes to town to share her heartwarming\, emotional\, revelatory memoir—told with all her hallmark warmth and gusto. Leave with her favorite recipes in hand! \nLidia’s story begins with her upbringing in Pula\, a formerly Italian city turned Yugoslavian under Tito’s communist regime. She enjoys a childhood surrounded by love and security—despite the family’s poverty—learning everything about Italian cooking from her beloved grandmother\, Nonna Rosa. When the communist regime begins investigating the family\, they flee to Trieste\, Italy\, where they spend two years in a refugee camp waiting for visas to enter the United States–an experience that will shape Lidia for the rest of her life. At age 12\, Lidia starts a new life in New York. She soon begins working in restaurants as a young teenager\, the first step toward the creation of her own American dream. And she tells in great\, vivid detail the fulfillment of that dream: her close-knit family\, her dedication and endless passion for food that ultimately leads to multiple restaurants\, many cookbooks\, and twenty years on public television as the host of her own cooking show. An absolute must-have/must-see for the millions of Lidia fans! \n\n\n\n\nA Partnership Between

SUMMARY:Manchester - Global Tipping Points with Melinda Negrón-Gonzales
DESCRIPTION:Global Tipping Points \nA three-part series on today’s global challenges \nMonday\, March 4th\, 6 PM-7:15 PM \nLocation: Multi-purpose Room\, UNH Manchester\, 88 Commercial Street (Pandora Mill)\, Manchester. Directions & Parking Info Here. (For safety and storm closure information\, check here)  \nTickets: \nWACNH Members\, Fulbright Members\, UNH Students and Staff- Free \nGeneral Public- $10 \nCounter-Terrorism and Human Rights in Turkey \nNegron-Gonzales will discuss how activists have attempted to hold the state accountable for human rights violations associated with counter-terrorism\, such as torture\, curfews and disappearances. What legal instruments and political mechanisms have been available to them\, and when have they been successful in pressuring the government to enact reform? ​ \n  \nAbout Melinda Negrón-Gonzales \n\n \nMelinda Negrón-Gonzales is Program Coordinator of the Politics and Society Program. She has taught at UNH since fall 2008 and teaches courses on international relations and comparative politics. \nNegrón-Gonzales’s research interests span the following areas: international politics\, Turkish Studies\, Middle Eastern Studies\, humanitarian intervention/responsibility to protect/human security\, social movements\, and democratization. She seeks to understand political and social change. \nOne strand of her research looks at changing ideas about humanitarian intervention – when the international community (working through the United Nations) attempts to prevent and respond to genocide\, crimes against humanity\, and war crimes. Recently\, she’s written about the international community’s response to the humanitarian crisis in Syria\, and also the Organization for Islamic Cooperation’s response to ISIS terrorism in the Middle East and North Africa.  \nNegrón-Gonzales also conducts research on social and political change in Turkey\, specifically exploring how social movements work to push democratization in Turkey. For example\, one of her recent publications examines how feminist activists in Turkey have attempted to shape legislative reform and advance women’s rights under an Islamic conservative government. \nPresented in partnership with UNH Manchester’s homeland security\, history\, humanities and politics and society programs\, the Fulbright Association\, and the Turkish Cultural Center of New Hampshire

Join Shay Stewart-Bouley (Black Girl in Maine) and author Debby Irving as they talk about racism’s impact on their lives and how conversation has been instrumental in their own understanding of 21st century racial dynamics. \nShay and Debby will explore the common fears and pitfalls of cross-racial conversation that keep people isolated in their own racial groups\, at the expense of personal\, professional\, and societal growth. They’ll also help audience members understand how interpersonal social patterns hinder organizations from living up to their own ideals for diversity and how good intentions can actually undermine collective progress.

SUMMARY:Concord - Finding Refuge: Crossroads Film and Discussion Series - The Human Flow
DESCRIPTION:The Human Flow \nWednesday\, February 27th\, 7 PM \nRed River Theatres  \n11 S Main St #L1 \nConcord\, NH 03301 \nTickets are free for the public\, but space is limited. Reserve your tickets today!\n \nREGISTER HERE \nAbout The Human Flow: \nOver 65 million people around the world have been forced from their homes to escape famine\, climate change and war in the greatest human displacement since World War II. Human Flow\, an epic film journey led by the internationally renowned artist Ai Weiwei\, gives a powerful visual expression to this massive human migration. The documentary elucidates both the staggering scale of the refugee crisis and its profoundly personal human impact. Captured over the course of an eventful year in 23 countries\, the film follows a chain of urgent human stories that stretches across the globe in countries including Afghanistan\, Bangladesh\, France\, Greece\, Germany\, Iraq\, Israel\, Italy\, Kenya\, Mexico\, and Turkey. Human Flow is a witness to its subjects and their desperate search for safety\, shelter and justice: from teeming refugee camps to perilous ocean crossings to barbed-wire borders; from dislocation and disillusionment to courage\, endurance and adaptation; from the haunting lure of lives left behind to the unknown potential of the future. Human Flow comes at a crucial time when tolerance\, compassion and trust are needed more than ever. This visceral work of cinema is a testament to the unassailable human spirit and poses one of the questions that will define this century: Will our global society emerge from fear\, isolation\, and self-interest and choose a path of openness\, freedom\, and respect for humanity? \nWatch the Trailer:

SUMMARY:Portsmouth - EWH Tea Talks: Permit Patty\, BBQ Becky & Coupon Carl
DESCRIPTION:From the rash of 911 calls targeting people of color to a racist jingle that turned a Christmas tune into a KKK theme song\, there is no shortage of examples of how implicit bias impacts how we see the world and resulting actions that have lasting impacts. \nJoin us for an experiential talk to explore the role of implicit bias in our lives. Our behavior is influenced by unconscious assumptions\, beliefs and attitudes we have about others based on their social identities (race\, class\, gender/gender expression\, sexual orientation\, religion\, age\, etc.). It is a manifestation of how we have been shaped and socialized in the world. It is a major contributor to racism. Is there anything we can do about it? The answers may surprise you. \nMore Elinor Williams Hooker Tea Talks and info
