NH Humanities: BIG Watch

The Big Watch is a statewide series of community-driven programs that bring Granite Staters together to watch, discuss, and reflect on the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and American Revolution. Stay tuned to find a program near you!
Watch: Local organizations will host a watch party of a themed excerpt of THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION, a new film directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Botstein and David Schmidt.
Discuss: Immediately after the watch party, skilled facilitators, provided by NHH, will moderate civil discussions among viewers about the film and “remembering together:”
What moments from our past define who we are and point to a shared future?
Driven by a need to remember, how does commemoration help us to understand our present and provide a foundation for a community’s ongoing vitality?
What are the key historical moments in your town’s or community’s history?
How does focusing on these moments shape your sense of your community’s future?
