LACONIA — On Thursday, September 6 at 6:30 p.m. Good Shepherd Lutheran Church presents Dr. John Krueckeberg, PSU who will present a NH Humanities Council Program: "Uprooted: Heartache and Hope in New Hampshire".
It is a 30-minute documentary based on interviews collected during the Humanities Council's Fences & Neighbors initiative on immigration. It tells the story of five refugees who escaped from war-torn countries to resettle in New Hampshire.
The film explores what it means to be a refugee, how it feels to make a new life in a strange place, often without English language skills, family, jobs or community contacts. The film leaves people pondering questions of belonging and citizenship.
Good Shepherd Lutheran Church is located at 2238 Parade Road in Laconia. 528-4078. This is a free presentation to anyone who would like to attend.
