Discussion of "Reveil! Waking Up French"

Paige, Abby (moderator)

A roundtable discussion led by writer Abby Paige about Franco American heritage in Vermont with respect to the themes in Ben Levine's film, "Reveil!" From the Center for Media and Democracy: " 'Réveil! -- Waking Up French' is a powerful documentary film by Ben Levine that explores the struggle for cultural survival among the French-Canadian communities of New England today. Abby Paige, writer-performer of 'Piecework: When We Were French,' will attend and lead a discussion after the film. Abby will be seeing 'Reveil!' for her first time. The film, now in the lending collection at the library, is closely related to the themes of her acclaimed 2009 play. Presented by the Fletcher Free Library community language programs."
