Sara Withers, a senior lecturer at the University of New Hampshire, will present a screening of her film “Uprooted: Heartache and Hope in New Hampshire” Thursday, Dec. 9, at 2 p.m. at The Park Theatre, 19 Main St., Jaffrey.
“Uprooted” is a 30-minute documentary based on interviews collected during New Hampshire Humanities’ Fences and Neighbors initiative on immigration. Telling the story of five refugees who resettled in New Hampshire after leaving war-torn countries, the film examines what it means to be a refugee and how these five individuals made new lives for themselves in a strange place, separated from their families and often without communities, English-language skills or jobs.
A talkback with Withers will follow the film. Admission is free.
