Screening of ‘The Hollow Tree’ with Director Kira Akerman

Askwith Hall, Harvard Graduate School of Education

Join us for the Boston premiere of “Hollow Tree,” hosted by the Harvard Hutchins Center’s History Design Studio and co-sponsored by HGSE. The 73-minute award winning documentary follows three young women as they travel to different sites along the Mississippi River and imagine Louisiana's past — its history of slavery, Indigenous dispossession, and colonization — and, by extension, Louisiana's future. The screening will be followed by a conversation with Director Kira Akerman, Producer Monique Walton and the documentary film’s three protagonists, Mekenzie Fanguy, Annabelle Pavy, and Tanielma DaCosta.

Join us as we welcome Chelsea Clinton to the Harvard Graduate School of Education, moderating a panel conversation with early childhood and health experts to focus attention on the impacts of environmental change on early childhood development. The discussion will outline cross-disciplinary solutions and actions to respond to, mitigate, and lessen the threat of climate change and help ensure all children can get a healthy start.
