Virtual Event
Directed by Philadelphia documentary filmmaker Glenn Holsten, series presents stories of strength, resilience, and creativity in the words of Broad Street Ministry guests
Red-carpet premiere and block party is free and open to the community
PHILADELPHIA – In Philadelphia, the nation’s poorest big city, hundreds of thousands of people live in need of something – shelter, food, clothing, jobs, health care, family, peace. Every one of those people has a story, and for so many, they are stories of hope. Opening Oct. 28, a new film series, “Voices from Broad Street Ministry,” turns the camera on individuals who share, in their own words, their aspirations, loss, love, and life experiences – the kind of stories that are bound to move, inspire, and provide perspective for audiences everywhere.
FILM PREMIERE DETAILS – FREE & OPEN TO THE PUBLIC
As part of the “Voices of Broad Street Ministry” premiere on Oct. 28, many of the film series’ stars will be in attendance and have the opportunity to walk the event’s red carpet, if they wish. They will be joined by Broad Street Ministry staff and supporters as well as neighbors, friends, city officials, including the Center City District, and members of Philadelphia’s film community. The free event will include a preview of the film series, a gallery of art created by Broad Street Ministry guests, demonstrations of the organization’s new Community Hygiene Truck, and light refreshments.
