Exclusive screening of award-winning documentary Tre Maison Dasan at the Weaver Library
Weaver Library will host an exclusive screening of Tre Maison Dasan on Thursday, June 13, 2019 at 6:30 pm in the Champlin Program Room of the library. An up-close and moving documentary, Tre Maison Dasan follows three unforgettable boys who share the experience of growing up in Rhode Island with a parent in prison.
Meet the RISD filmmaker Denali Tiller and Tre, Maison, and Dasan at a talkback after the film. Learn why their film has been described as gripping, honest, and wrenchingly intimate, and as the first film to offer a child’s point of view of a complex social and emotional landscape. Learn why all of us should care.
