Daniel Packard, the Dating Doctor from Vancouver’s The Beat 94.5FM, and National College Speaker of The Year is here to get us less secretive and more sexy. With probing questions and joyful tenacity, Daniel Packard orchestrates a fun and adventurous, crowd-based conversation that slyly pries open the titillating truths and scary secrets we’re not supposed to tell the other sex, but need to. When that happens: the truth gets loose, the lid flies off and a whole lot of relationship-enhancing & hilariously educational steam comes flying out.

September 21 is the International Day of Peace. 

Three students died and 58 were injured in the January 2000 fire that arsonists set in the student lounge at Seton Hall University.  Among the victims were Shawn Simons and Alvaro Llanos, roommates from poor neighborhoods who had made their families proud by getting into college.  Newark Star Ledger reporter Robin Fisher tells the story of the two “most badly burned” survivors, proceeding from the devastating fire through the grueling medical treatment into their life-affirming futures.  A medical education and a dectective story unfold as Robin joins a reporter’s curiosity and objectivity to a near-familial access to the principals.

Nichols College is participating in a national program to screen this film in connection with the National Day of Peace on September 21.  Our screening on September 22 is a local premiere.

Little town of Bethlehem, a documentary film, follows the story of three men of three different faiths and their lives in Israel and Palestine.  The story explores each man’s choice of nonviolent action amidst a culture of overwhelming violence.

Their three stories are interwoven through the major events of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, starting with the 1972 massacre at the Munich Olympics and following through the first Intifada, suicide bombings in Israel, the Oslo Acords, the assassination of Yitzchak Rabin, and the second Intifada. Sami, Yonatan, and Ahmad each describe the events from their unique perspective, interjecting personal relfections and explaining how these events led them to become involved in the nonviolence movement.

All three men have had their lives threatened by members of their own communities as a result of their work.  Sami, Yonatan, and Ahmad continue to embrace their common humanitiy and equality for all, daring to have the hope that peace in the Holy Land can be achieved through nonviolent struggle. 

As the U.S. approaches the opening of peace negotiations once again in the region, this film can add a level of historical background to better understand the issues at stake.
