DESCRIPTION:Join us for the Boston Premiere of Hollow Tree\, hosted by Hist
 ory Design Studio and co-sponsored by the Harvard Graduate School of Educat
 ion. The screening will be followed by a conversation with Director Kira Ak
 erman\, Producer Monique Walton\, and the 3 protagonists.\n\nModerated by W
 alter Johnson with an Introduction by Vincent Brown.\n\nThis event is the f
 irst in the Swamp Capitalism Event Series convened by History Design Studio
  Fellow Robin McDowell.\n\nFree and open to the public. Advance tickets hig
 hly recommended.\n\nHollow Tree follows three teenagers coming of age in th
 eir sinking homeland of Louisiana. For the first time\, they notice the Mis
 sissippi River’s engineering\, stumps of cypress trees\, and billowing smok
 estacks. Their different perspectives — as Indigenous\, white\, and Angolan
  young women — shape their story of the climate crisis.\n\nThe 73-minute aw
 ard-winning documentary\, directed by Kira Akerman and produced by Monique 
 Walton and Chachi Hauser\, invites three young women\, who did not previous
 ly know each other\, to learn with the director\, filmmaking team\, and the
 ir respective communities. Mekenzie Fanguy (Houma\, Louisiana) was born on 
 coastal bayous and is a member of the United Houma Nation\; Annabelle Pavy 
 (Lafayette\, Louisiana) is from a mostly white community\, where climate ch
 ange is largely viewed as a myth\; and Tanielma DaCosta (Baton Rouge\, Loui
 siana) immigrated from Angola\, Africa when she was 6. They travel to diffe
 rent sites along the Mississippi River\, where they engage in dialogue with
  engineers\, activists\, and Indigenous leaders. As these young women notic
 e their surroundings\, they begin to imagine Louisiana's past — its history
  of slavery\, Indigenous dispossession\, and colonization — and\, by extens
 ion\, Louisiana's future. The one that they will experience and help to sha
 pe.
