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.

    This week from Discover the Battle Road:  Meet Colonel James Barrett, who, along with his wife, Rebecca, frantically hid stockpiled arms from British soldiers in the early hours of the morning of April 19, 1775. Later that day, the town of Menotomy (current day Arlington) would experience the largest, longest, and bloodiest engagement of the day. Discover more about the decisive action and selfless sacrifice of that momentous day.
