Jody's Film Series Presents Three Shorts by filmmaker Jason DeSilva:

Twins of Mankala

Olivia's Puzzle

A Song for Daniel

(Total running time: 30 minutes)

Meet Kara, Kendall, Eunice, Olivia, Reshma, Daniel, and Ahmad. They're from Massachusetts, Kenya, British Columbia, India, NYC, and Baghdad. They're 7,8, and 9 years old. 

Observe a typical day in each of their lives. How they compare, culturally. Who their friends are. What they do for fun. What they want to be when they grow up. How are they different. How are they alike. You decide.

Enjoy the free films , then stay for the post-film discussion facilitated by Jody. With thanks to the collaboration of the Hamline Midway Coalition, the Hamline Midway Library, & the Hamline Midway Elders.
