Documentary, Concert Celebrate New Orleans

From Bill Menezes, Redfern: The Spike Lee Documentary, When the Levees Broke, will be shown at the Putnam Art Lecture Hall in two parts (each is two hours long). Part one will be seen Monday, February 9, at 7 p.m., and part two will be seen Tuesday, February 10, at 7 p.m. Both showings are free; however, donations for the St. Bernard Project, a relief program to support the residents of New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward, are encouraged and will be collected at the door.

This showing is presented in conjunction with the concert by New Orleans’ own Hot 8 Brass Band on Wednesday, February 11, at 7:30 p.m. in Alumni Hall. The band figures prominently in the film because of their relief work on behalf of the victims of Hurricane Katrina. For information about the concert, call the Redfern Box Office at 8-2168 or visit www.keene.edu/racbp.
