SUMMARY:Wilton Historical Society Documentary Screening: The Hidden History of Slavery in New York
DESCRIPTION:The Hidden History of Slavery in New York digs deeply into an infamous chapter in our country that hasn’t always made its way into the history books. The film features Bryan Stevenson\, founder of the Equal Justice Initiative\, and explores how the Transatlantic trade of enslaved people was centered in the north\, not the south\, in the 17th and 18th century — with New Amsterdam as its epicenter — and Wall Street as its largest market. Journalist Larry Epstein wrote\, produced and researched the project\, which won an award at the 67th annual NY Emmy Awards. \nOn Thursday\, Jan. 22\, at 7 p.m. at the Wilton Historical Society\, Epstein will present this film along with a Q&A session afterwards. \nEpstein is a two-time Emmy award-winning documentary and news producer\, journalist\, writer\, anchor and corporate copywriter. He is a former executive producer at MSNBC and former senior-level producer at the Fox News Channel and Fox Business Network. \nSpace is limited and registration is required. The cost to attend is $10 per person for non-members\, free for Wilton Historical Society members.

SUMMARY:The Wilton Library Presents Film Screening: “Join or Die”
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Wilton Library at a special screening of Join or Die\, a film about why you should join a club…and why the fate of America depends on it. \nIn this Emmy-nominated feature documentary\, follow the half-century story of America’s civic unraveling through the journey of legendary social scientist Robert Putnam\, whose groundbreaking Bowling Alone research into America’s decades-long decline in community connections could hold the answers to our democracy’s present crisis. The film also discusses the direct impact of social disconnection on mortality rates\, arguing that people living in social isolation die earlier than those with stronger social bonds. Flanked by influential fans and scholars — from Priya Parker\, Pete Buttigieg\, and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to Jane McAlevey\, and Eddie Glaude Jr. — as well as inspiring groups building community in neighborhoods across the country\, Bob explores three urgent civic questions: What makes democracy work? Why is American democracy in crisis? And\, most importantly… What can we do about it? \nAbout Robert Putnam: \nHarvard professor Robert D. Putnam is America’s preeminent political scientist — and one of the most widely read and cited social scientists living today. Author of fourteen books\, translated into twenty languages\, his work focuses on asking big questions about American society and deploying immense\, creative studies and analyses to unlock answers. \nHis Bowling Alone research — which demonstrated that levels of American community connections were in decline over the past half-century — rocketed Putnam to national fame in the late 1990s\, earning him the moniker “the poet laureate of civil society” and the ear of presidents\, religious leaders\, and tech founders over the coming decades. In 2012\, Putnam received the National Humanities Medal\, the nation’s highest honor for contributions to the humanities. As more Americans turn on to the reality of our social isolation crisis\, a consistent drumbeat of media interest in revisiting Putnam’s work has grown. More information is available at https://joinordiefilm.com/. \nDoors will open at 6:30 p.m\, with the film to begin at 7:00 p.m. The run time is 90 minutes. Movie snacks & refreshments provided. \nRegistration is requested. Please register online or call (203) 762-6334. \nThis program is made possible by the generosity and collaboration of Block Party USA\, Town of Wilton Social Services\, Wilton Library\, Wilton Public Schools\, and Wilton Youth Council.
