This Saturday, March 6th at 2PM EST join POV and the New York City Office of the Public Advocate for a special screening of documentary Softie. This screening, sponsored by the Open Society Foundation, will feature break-out healing rooms with ArinMaya and Anooj Bhandari and a Q&A discussion with Boniface and Njeri Mwangi, the protagonists of the film. ASL interpreter Michael Barrios will join us in the main Zoom room and film will have English captions. Raffle prizes will also be awarded to select attendees! Documentaries for Hope and Healing is a new virtual screening series by POV Engage. Each month, Engage will be working with different communities to host virtual events that focus on a single documentary film, with the aim of partnering with local organizations across the nation to promote wellness and creative resistance in the midst of a turbulent year. Documentaries for Hope and Healing was created with the idea that storytelling has a crucial role to play in community healing processes. This series is made possibly by the Open Society Foundations.
