⏰ 3:30–6 PM
📍 The Screening Room at 1313, 1313 N. Market Street

So, how did we get here?
West Side Creative Hub co-managers JaQuanne LeRoy and Vanity Constance were captivated after watching 9/11: Reclaiming Ground Zero. The documentary sparked conversations about rebuilding, neighborhoods, community, and the people who call these places home. We knew it was a conversation worth bringing to Wilmington, so we connected with Gordon to explore bringing the film into the Wilmington International Film Festival.

And now it’s happening! Come watch the film and stay for the conversation. We’ll see you Saturday.

As our President and CEO, Sarah Lester, shared in the article:

We’re grateful for our partnership with NCRC and everyone who continues to support our mission of building stronger, more connected neighborhoods.
