"Promises of the Revolution" film screening at GBH
About this Event
You’re invited to the premiere screening of “Promises of the Revolution,” a short-film series produced by GBH and Mass Humanities.
The event celebrates the power of narrative and storytelling to offer fresh perspectives on the Semiquincentennial, reimagine our democracy, and bring communities together.
Please join the filmmakers and the subjects and organizations featured in the documentaries for an evening reception, half-hour screening and panel discussion.
The four “Promises of the Revolution” films chronicle the efforts of present-day Massachusetts residents–from Marblehead to Mashpee–to hold the nation and themselves to the ideals that birthed the Revolution. Weaving together history with the challenges we face today, the documentaries show the diverse ways that young writers, Indigenous leaders, archivists, historians and artists tackle the 250th with creativity and courage. Their stories give viewers a window into the way history is made and why it is more important than ever.
The film series represents a new partnership between GBH and Mass Humanities and reflects their mutual public missions to explore the ideas, people and places that shape the commonwealth.
“Promises” is based on four projects supported by Mass Humanities and conducted by Queer History Boston, the Mashpee Wampanoag tribe, WordPowered and the Marblehead Museum. The films were produced by Raeshma Razvi, with individual shorts directed by Wes DeShano, Evan Goodchild, and Steven Peters. The films are made possible through support from MA250 and the Eastern Bank Foundation.
