LU Haiti documentary to be screened

"Kenbe La-Hold On" is a documentary from filmmakers associated with Lawrence University. The project has been more than a year in the making. The film centers on Holy Trinity music school in Port-Au-Prince, and the lives of the students, teachers, and volunteers that make it a reality.

It is about an exchange of ideas through music, and the relationships built by this exchange.  After the disastrous Jan. 12, 2010, earthquake, these relationships hold the musicians together despite the loss of their beloved school, instruments, friends, and family members.

Filmed before and after the earthquake, this powerful story displays the strength and resilience of the Haitian people.

"Kenbe La-Hold On" will be shown Wednesday, January 12 at Harmony Cafe Fox Valley in Appleton.  The event will take place from 6-8 pm.

This event is free and open to the public.  Free will donations will be accepted for the Holy Trinity Music School Rebuilding Fund, and on behalf of Partners in Health.
