Chewstick To Screen Bermuda Poverty Film
The Chewstick Foundation is re-launching its documentary film series program entitled “BlockDocs”, with a screening of “Poverty in Paradise: The Price We Pay” on Thursday, June 16th at 6:30pm.
The local documentary spearheaded by the Coalition for the Protection of Children explores the causes and consequences of the widening gap between Bermuda’s wealthy and poor, the struggles families face in providing for themselves and their children and the consequential spiral in crime plaguing the community.
Nicola Feldman from The Coalition for the Protection of Children will participate in the discussion and give an insiders’ perspective on what it is like to interact with some of the families who struggle to support their families in Bermuda’s hyper-inflated economy. Other agency representatives may also be present to provide a range of perspectives on the issue of poverty in Bermuda.
BlockDocs movie nights are completely free, but donations are appreciated. Everyone is welcome to attend every Thursday at the Chewstick Headquarters on the corner of Court Street and Elliot Street. Films start at 6:30 pm and depending upon the length of the movie and discussion, end around 9 pm. For documentary titles, complete schedule, future film suggestions and other event information contact Deidra Lee Bean at 292-2439, e-mail deidra@chewstick.org or visit www.chewstick.org
