We have a singular film event this Friday in the Loew. The film is Difret, a powerful drama about
Ethiopia’s long tradition of marriage by abduction and the country's entry for the 2014 Academy Awards.
The Hop’s screening is further enhanced by a post-film discussion with the film’s extraordinary lead actress Tizita Hagere (who was raised in a home for women and children escaping this abusive tradition),
Marisa Stam (Exec. Dir. of the Selamta Family Project
, which helps those women and children and started in the Upper Valley) and Dartmouth student volunteer Kristen Chalmers '17, who has worked at a Selamta home in Ethiopia. Tizita was a Selamta child when she attended an acting workshop, which led to her being cast as the lead in Difret.
