Free screening of ‘More Than a Month’ documentary

The Mancos Public Library, located at 211 W. First St., will show the film “More Than A Month” on Thursday, Feb. 16, at 7 p.m.

Shukree Hassan Tilghman, a 29-year-old African-American filmmaker, sets out on a cross-country campaign to end Black History Month. He stops in various cities, wearing a sandwich board, to solicit signatures on his petition to end the observance. He explains that relegating Black History Month to the coldest, shortest month of the year is an insult, and that black history is not separate from American history. Through this thoughtful and humorous journey, he explores what the treatment of history tells us about race and equality in a “post-racial” America. Free! Panel-led discussion to follow the film.

For more information, call the Mancos Public Library at 533-7600.



‘Vanishing of the Bees’ documentary will screen

Center of Light will present the film “Vanishing of the Bees” at Conscious Movie Night at 7 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 24 at the Sophia Peace Center, 19581 Road 31, in Dolores. (In Dolores turn left at the Riverside Gas Station, go 1.8 miles to the Sophia Peace Center.)

It’s a phenomenon with a name — Colony Collapse Disorder — but no explanation or solution exists. This documentary details the economic, political and ecological consequences of a dwindling world honeybee population. This event is free, and all are welcome. All donations will go to support American Beekeeping Association, a national organization working in the interest of all beekeepers and those associated with the industry to ensure the future of the honeybee.

To RSVP or find out more information, contact Rev. Meira Leonard at 882-2123 or RevMeira@CentersOfLight.org.
