Peace Treaty of Portsmouth - A Spiritual Perspective Screening for International Peace Day

In 1905 the United States hosted a peace conference in Portsmouth, New Hampshire that resulted in a peaceful end to the Russo-Japanese War, a conflict so violent it's sometimes referred to as World War Zero.

The documentary The Peace Treaty of Portsmouth - A Spiritual Perspective will be presented with a discussion to follow. This documentary by Amherst, NH filmmaker Don Alusic presents five years of research on the roles of spirituality and religion in that historic event which won President Theodore Roosevelt a Nobel Peace Prize.  This screening is offered by Wadleigh Memorial Library at 49 Nashua Street in Milford, NH.  It will take place in the Keyes Meeting Room.  For more information contact: Susan Amann (603-673-2408 or refdesk@wadleighlibrary.org or http://www.wadleighlibrary.org/)
