‘Divide in Concord’ screened at DVAA

Posted

NARROWSBURG, NY — The Delaware Valley Arts Alliance will present the new documentary “Divide in Concord” on Sunday, February 22 at 2 p.m. as part of its winter “Creative Conversations” series. The feature-length film follows the events leading up to a vote on banning the sale of plastic water bottles in a town known for being the birthplace of the revolutionary war: Concord, MA.

Jean Hill, a fiery 84-year-old widow and mother of four, leads the charge to ban the bottles in the name of the environment and fighting corporate control. On the other side of the issue, Adriana Cohen, model-turned-pundit and regular Fox News contributor, fights for what she sees as an attack on personal freedom in her town.

Filmmaker/activist Michael Moore called the film “a fascinating, entertaining look at how persistence and citizen action still means something in a corporate-controlled society.”

This new documentary film recently screened to great acclaim at DOC NYC. “Divide in Concord” is directed by Kris Kaczor and Dave Regos and has a runtime of 82 minutes. Following the film, stay for a panel discussion about the role of rural activism in contemporary American life.

There is a suggested donation of $10 for this event, which take place at the Delaware Arts Center, Krause Recital Hall, 37 Main St., second floor. Seating is limited. Call 845/252-7576 or visit www.DelawareValleyArtsAlliance.org.
