Join RAIN at

Red River Theatres in Concord, NH

Tuesday, Nov. 16th

For a documentary film screening and panel discussion about racial equity, the ongoing impacts of colonialism, and how these dynamics pertain to us, here in NH.

African Apocalypse traces the path the French took in colonizing Niger and explores the enduring effects throughout the region.

Following the screening, RAIN will host a panel discussion with local community leaders including moderator James McKim and panelists Malika Kounkourou and Ali Sekou.

You can learn more and buy tickets here. Tickets are limited and may sell out!

This project was funded by the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation to foster community conversation in the Concord area.

Join us for a virtual celebration, in honor of the women of RAIN and their resilience in the face of COVID-19.

We will be honoring the women of RAIN. These women have carried their families through a global pandemic, regional insecurity, and worsening climactic conditions. They are the backbone of their communities and we are honored to partner with them. 

Event tickets and sponsorships are available here.
