What would you do if everything you knew about your life was turned upside down? If your sisters weren’t really your sisters and your mother was married to someone else before your father? In her personal and moving film NEW YEAR BABY, Socheata Poeuv finds that long-held secrets hide not only painful memories, but also love forged under inhuman conditions.

ITVS Community Cinema will present the first of two preview screenings on May 18 of NEW YEAR BABY at 2 PM co-presented with WETA TV 26 and Calvary Baptist Church in Washington, DC (755 Eighth Street, NW). Filmmaker, Socheata Poeuv will participate in the Q&A following the screening.

The screening is FREE and open to the public. Email newyearbaby@communitycinema-dc.org or call 202-939-0794.

Community partners for this screening include Busboys and Poets, the Social Action and Leadership School for Activists (S.A.L.S.A.) of the Institute for Policy Studies, Southeast Asia Action Resource Center, and Cavary Baptist Church. NEW YEAR BABY will be presented in May (check local listings) on the Emmy® winning PBS series Independent Lens, hosted by Terrence Howard.Tickets: http://www.communitycinema-dc.org
