SUMMARY:Film:  New York: A Documentary Film and The Jewish Americans
DESCRIPTION:7 pm \nJune screenings in the Bank of America Free Thursday Film Series initiate Becoming American: A Documentary Film and Discussion Series on our Immigration Experience. This six-week series is a project of City Lore\, a cultural center for the arts and humanities based in New York City. It is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities as part of NEH’s Community Conversations initiative\, and features documentary film screenings and scholar-led discussions designed to encourage an informed discussion of immigration issues against the backdrop of our immigration history. \nThe National Hispanic Cultural Center is one of 24 organizations selected nationwide to participate in the Becoming American project. The scholar/moderator for the screenings and discussions at the Center is Dr. Gabriel Sanchez\, Professor of Political Science at the University of New Mexico. The theme for Unit One\, presented on June 14\, is “The Century of Immigration.” \nEpisode 4\, “The Power and the People\,” of New York: A Documentary Film examines the great wave of immigration that began in the late 19th century\, tripled New York’s population\, and transformed the city and the nation. On camera\, renowned historians like David McCullough and writers like Pete Hamill describe the new tide of humanity from southern and eastern Europe—Italians\, Poles\, Turks\, Hungarians\, Ukrainians\, Greeks—their reasons for migrating\, their passage through Ellis Island\, their life on the Lower East Side\, and their role in transforming America into an industrial nation.\n2004; directed by Ric Burns; 30 minutes; English; not rated. \nEpisode 2\, “A World of Their Own\,” from the award-winning series The Jewish Americans explores in depth the story of one of the groups that made up the great wave of immigration described above. Fleeing poverty and oppression in Eastern Europe\, over two million Jews flooded into America\, drawn by the promise of religious freedom and economic opportunity. Many migrated across the U.S.\, but the majority created a new life in Manhattan’s slums. Struggling to adapt their traditions to their new life\, they were aided by new ethnic institutions such as The Forward\, a newspaper which devoted columns to teaching newcomers American mores\, in often unintentionally humorous ways.\n2008; directed by David Grubin; English; 30 minutes; not rated.\nFree ticketed event; tickets available one hour before show

SUMMARY:Film:  Welcome to Shelbyville
DESCRIPTION:7 pm \nJune screenings in the Bank of America Free Thursday Film Series initiate Becoming American: A Documentary Film and Discussion Series on our Immigration Experience. This six-week series is a project of City Lore\, a cultural center for the arts and humanities based in New York City. It is funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities as part of NEH’s Community Conversations initiative\, and features documentary film screenings and scholar-led discussions designed to encourage an informed discussion of immigration issues against the backdrop of our immigration history. \nThe National Hispanic Cultural Center is one of 24 organizations selected nationwide to participate in the Becoming American project. The scholar/moderator for the screenings and discussions at the Center is Dr. Gabriel Sanchez\, Professor of Political Science at the University of New Mexico. The theme for Unit Two\, presented on June 28\, is “Promise and Prejudice.” \nThe powerful documentary Welcome to Shelbyville focuses on a small Tennessee town in the heart of the Bible Belt as it grapples with discrimination in the face of changing demographics. Shelbyville’s long-time residents are challenged with how to best integrate the recent arrival of hundreds of Somali refugees of Muslim faith\, hired by the local Tyson chicken-processing plant. As the town erupts in controversy\, we hear from all parts of the community: Latino workers grappling with their own immigrant identity; longtime African American residents balancing perceived threats to their livelihood against the values they learned from their own civil rights struggles; the Somali refugees attempting to make new lives for their families and maintain their dignity in a hostile new land; and white civic and church leaders who are attempting to guide their congregations and citizens through a period of unprecedented change.\n2010; directed by Kim A. Snyder; English; 66 minutes; not rated.\nFree ticketed event; tickets available one hour before show
