Join us for a free screening and discussion of Building Hope
Join us at the Maine Film Center on Thursday, April 10th, at 6:45p for a showing of the documentary BUILDING HOPE: Ending Homelessness, a film by Richard Kane and Melody Lewis-Kane. MMHSS is honored to have been featured in this documentary, and we are excited to share it with the community and our supporters. Immediately after the screening, there will be a discussion panel moderated by our President and CEO, Dr. Katie Spencer White.
From the film’s website, “BUILDING HOPE brings to audiences around Maine and beyond that there is hope to ending the suffering of homelessness. The film begins with the story of Aneyva, a 30-year old woman with two children, a former early childhood educator with two college degrees. The pandemic caused her to lose her job, her home, and her children and she now lives in Bangor’s Tent City, homeless.
…BUILDING HOPE explores these stories and more of those caught in the daily crisis of homelessness. With the help of respected state advocates, many have risen above their circumstances to find housing and jobs and are becoming productive members of society. Others, due to mental illness and substance use disorder, have yet to succeed.”
Many, many thanks to the Maine Film Center for generously donating their wonderful space for this event. We’re so grateful!
