Saturday, February 9

7 p.m. | Park Theatre
Awaken the Dragon, screening with Two Laps – In Charleston, South Carolina, a group of cancer survivors form a dragon boat racing team. But more than a team of paddlers, they find themselves part of a community, one that lives through poignant and moving episodes captured in a film full of both positive messages and heartbreaking moments.

9:30 p.m. | Park Theatre
Fordson: Faith, Fasting, Football, screening with The Freedom Chair – Meet a predominantly Arab-American high school football team from a working-class Detroit suburb as they practice for their big cross-town rivalry game during Ramadan, revealing a community holding onto its Islamic faith and the American Dream while struggling to gain acceptance in post 9/11 America.
