East End Libraries Present: "1,000 Years a Witness": A Virtual Screening and Q&A with Director Bryan Downey.

Thursday, November 12 at 11:00am. “When an elder dies, a library burns with them.” 1,000 Years a Witness is a new documentary series from Sag Harbor resident Bryan Downey. Having  photographed many Native tribes around the U.S. as a professional photographer, Mr. Downey centered his first film around thirteen Shinnecock elders and one child whose combined ages add up to exactly 1,000 years. They discuss the struggle to keep members of the younger generation connected to their roots with the encroachment of western technology and the loss of traditions.
The film will be made available for you to view online at your pleasure when you make your reservation to the virtual Q & A with Director Bryan Downey on November 12.

Presented by Rogers Memorial Library and Southampton History Museum with East End Libraries.
