Told through the voices of local residents and community leaders, Resilience is a story of economic perseverance in three Maine communities. While there are always obstacles, working together, Maine people have always exhibited tremendous strength and determination when weathering a storm- staying true to the vision and values that have defined Maine’s communities for hundreds of years.
This film was commissioned by the Maine Department of Economic and Community Development and produced by Blaze Partners and Timber + Frame.
Doors open at 6:00 pm, the film starts at 7:00 pm, and a panel discussion immediately follows.
Resilience will also be airing on Maine Public Television on Thursday, March 28 at 9:00 pm and Saturday, March 30 at 2:00 pm.

Please join us for Hospice Care – The Basics and the Myths at 2 p.m. on Thursday, March 28th at Lunt Auditorium (74 Lunt Road, Falmouth, ME 04105).
Mercedes Sonnie, a Compassus consultant, will present an overview of hospice services and answer all of your questions about the hospice journey. Compassus is a large hospice care provider that offers a continuum of home-based services including home health, infusion therapy, and palliative and hospice care. The nearest Compassus office is located in Scarborough.
About the speaker, Mercedes Sonnie, LPN:
“With over two decades of experience, I have enjoyed nursing in a wide array of environments including psychiatric health, spinal cord injury, and geriatric care. I have held many roles from Charge Nurse to Resident Care Director, and Unit Nurse Manager. For the last five years, I have been a Hospice Nurse and Volunteer Manager with Compassus. I love wearing many hats including being an active nurse educator for our local community. Many nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and CNA programs invite me to provide education about death and dying. The most rewarding work I have done has been end-of-life care where I have been able to combine my nursing skills with my love of teaching. For fun, I like to spend time in nature while finding adventure with activities such as hiking and whitewater rafting.” – Mercedes Sonnie
This event is free and open to the public. Masks are optional for those who are vaccinated.
