Enjoy these images from our film screening of “Promises of the Revolution,” held on Wednesday, July 15, at GBH Studios in Boston. The series features four vignettes that each explore democracy from a unique perspective. Projects by the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, Marblehead Museum, Queer History Boston, and WordPowered / Teens in Print are highlighted.

“Promises” was produced in collaboration with GBH, with the support of the Eastern Bank Foundation and Massachusetts 250.
