ImageNation, St. Mark's United Methodist Church and Harlem Congregation for Community Improvement presents
FAMILY FIRST FRIDAY- FILM SCREENING SERIES: This Friday - 11/2 at 6:30pm in Harlem, USA

THE AGRONOMIST

The Agronomist, a documentary from director Jonathan Demme (The Silence of the Lambs, Philadelphia), works for the same reason his previous non-fiction cinema (Stop Making Sense, Cousin Bobby) does. A magnificent documentary about the life of Jean Dominique, a Haitian radio broadcaster who was, until his murder in 2000, a brave and tireless voice for democracy and human rights in that unlucky country.
