Union Village Documentary Screening

<p>During the American Revolution, Rhode Island Quakers' principle of non-violence was put to the test. The Religious Society of Friends was urged to take sides, but they mostly abstained from the war altogether. In 1777, a prominent Providence Quaker, Moses Brown, wrote to fellow Friends throughout RI about exemptions from service for pacifists. Brown believed that such an exemption came with a heightened sense of responsibility. </p> <p>In a quiet village of Woonsocket Crossroads, Friends of the Smithfield Monthly Meeting, who had gathered in prayer for over 70 years, recieved this message and contemplated how to best navigate the war. Some adhered strictly to their pacifist belief, remaining neutral and never picking up weapons. Others, including some men buried in the local Friends Cemetery, signed on to fulfill their patriotic military duty. For RI 250, the time to tell their stories - and the history of the Union Village community - is now. Bringing this story to film ensures that the legacy of Union Village Quakers lives on, and that their experience of war touches new generations. </p> <p>Union Village was directed by filmmaker Christian de Rezendes and written by historian Allison Horrocks, Christian de Rezendes and Richard Keene. This collaboration brings the Friends' significant history to life and highlights the wartime experiences of an often under-explored area of the state. </p> <p>An encore screening of Union Village will be held <strong>Sunday, September 27th at 6:00 PM at the Smithfield Friends Meeting (108 Smithfield Road, Woonsocket, Rhode Island). </strong>This event is free and open to all. </p>
