Event Description

Join filmmaker Raouf Zaki on September 27 at 2pm for a screening of his film Dream, in celebration of Blindness Awareness Month! The screening is in partnership with the Lion's Club "Seeing Is Believing" Event, which will take place on the library lawn and in the Goodwin Forum earlier that day on September 27. Film Description: Frank, an autistic man, loses his parents to COVID-19. He visits a petting zoo where he meets Daisy, a blind woman with dreams of sailing solo. Immersing himself into the world of the blind, Frank experiences how they rely on their other senses through activities such as fencing and begins to face his own fears. Daisy opens his eyes to what life is all about as he develops an app to help her, and other blind sailors, sail independently. About Raouf Zaki: Raouf Zaki, originally from Egypt and based in Massachusetts for 34 years, wrote and directed several internationally awarded independent films. Santa Claus in Baghdad, described by the New York Times as a “miracle in filmmaking” for turning Boston into Baghdad, is used in hundreds of schools in the United States with a study guide developed by Harvard University. His most recent film, Fireflies, a film without dialog and winner of the Boston Film Festival, received the Sumner Redstone award at the Directors Guild of America in Los Angeles. This program is made possible by the generous support of the Friends of the Concord Free Public Library, a patron-supported non-profit organization.

    Concord’s Minutemen of 1861: Captain George L. Prescott and the Concord Artillery

    In the early morning of April 19, 1861, Daniel Lawrence rode into the town of Concord on horseback, rousing the town militia with orders to report to Boston in response to President Lincoln’s call for militia volunteers. The method and timing of this call were no accident.

    Relations be Hanged: Frayed Loyalties to King and Family

    Stand in the middle of Concord’s North Bridge with the Minute Man statue on your right and the British soldiers’ grave on your left. Place your hands on the rough wooden handrail in front of you; slightly to the left, you will see The Old Manse through the trees. Peer down into the Concord River that Ralph Waldo called “the dark stream which seaward creeps” and brace yourself: this tale is about to get rough.
