The film Wisdom of Trauma will be screened Saturday, August 20, at 7 PM, at Lost Nation Theater in Montpelier City Hall Auditorium as part of a Listening Project on Homelessness recently initiated by the Rotary Club of Montpelier.

"The front-line workers of central Vermont who engage with those people lacking permanent housing are the standard bearers of both compassion and realism in our community", says Kim Bent, co-director of Lost Nation Theater and current President of the Montpelier Rotary Club. "In partnership with Good Samaritan Haven, Another Way, and the Montpelier Police Department, the Montpelier Rotary's Listening Project aims to raise public awareness about the realities of homelessness in our community through a series of events to both honor and hear from front-line workers."

After the showing, a talk-back session with representatives from these partnering organizations will focus on how the themes of the film relate to our experiences here in central Vermont.

Admission is by donation and all proceeds will support the care and professional development of the staff at Good Samaritan Haven and Another Way. Audience members will have an opportunity to join the Listening Project and contribute to its further development.
