Massachusetts 02446Under G-dby Paula Eiselt and Darcy McKinnonAs a Youth Organizing Fellow with the Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, one goal of the program is to put on an educational event in our community. I was born and raised in Brookline, and living again at home has driven me to educate my neighbors about the importance of religious freedom and church state separation. Under G-d and the panel following the screening aims to provide a perspective on the importance of church-state separation and its threats in America today.

Colorado 80010A Mother Apartby Laurie Townshend and Alison Duke and Ngardy Conteh George and Justine PimlottAbout the Film In this intimate and deeply human story, Jamaican-American poet Staceyann Chin goes searching for the mother who left her behind—and, in the process, reimagines what mothering can be. Her journey spans Brooklyn, Montreal, Cologne, and Jamaica, weaving together memory, longing, forgiveness, and fierce love. Along the way, Staceyann builds a new kind of home with her young daughter—one rooted not in bloodline, but in chosen family, courage, and care. This powerful film invites us to reflect on the stories we inherit, the ones we lose, and the ones we create for ourselves. After the Screening Following the film, participants will gather in self-facilitated small groups for conversation and reflection on lineage, identity, and the stories that shape us—and how we choose to carry them forward. These conversations are designed to foster listening, curiosity, and compassion across different life experiences. Snacks and drinks provided. This event is produced with support from Mesa County Libraries. This event is a collaboration with the award-winning documentary series POV (www.pbs.org/pov). Filmmakers: Laurie Townshend, Alison Duke, Ngardy Conteh George, Justine Pimlott. About the Series This event is part of Everyday Democracy: Stories That Build Us, a community film and conversation series from Rocky Mountain Public Media’s Above the Noise initiative. The series creates space for something essential: people talking to people about the real stuff of life—everyday experiences like care, work, belonging, childhood, and access to information that shape how we see the world and how we participate in it. Above the Noise is Rocky Mountain Public Media’s statewide civic-dialogue series that brings Coloradans together—in person and online—to listen, reflect, and connect. This initiative is part of RMPM’s broader Statewide Civic Engagement effort to strengthen trust, empathy, and participation across all 64 counties of Colorado.
