SUMMARY:The American Revolution: PBS Documentary Excerpt & Civic Engagement Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an excerpt screening of the new PBS Documentary by 
 Ken Burns exploring the founding of the United States of America\, with a 
 focus on the spirit of service as a core American value. A conversation 
 reflecting on the film and the role of service in civic engagement will 
 follow\, facilitated by Mount Desert town manager Alex Kimball\, community 
 volunteer Phil Lichtenstein\, and library director Amy Wisehart.\n\nThe 
 American Revolution examines how America’s founding turned the world 
 upside-down. An expansive look at the virtues and contradictions of the war 
 and the birth of the United States of America\, the film follows dozens of 
 figures from a wide variety of backgrounds. We will be screening a section 
 titled The Spirit of Service\, which explores service as a core American

 volunteerism\, civic participation\, public leadership\, and 
 more.\n\nCorporate funding for THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION was provided by Bank
