Steven Spielberg's "Amistad"

Steven Spielberg’s film Amistad thrust the saga of slave rebellion and freedom into the national spotlight, but the story continues beyond movie’s ending.  The Town of Farmington played a crucial role in the lives of the African captives. The First Church of Christ, Congregational, 1652 is sponsoring a series of events to learn about the Amistad’s history in Farmington, and how we can carry that understanding into our current life.

Sunday, February 9, 6:00:  The Pilgrim Fellowship high school youth group will sponsor a screening of Steve Spielberg’s movie Amistad.  This is a free event in Amistad Hall, 75 Main Street, Farmington and is open to all. 

The First Church of Christ, Congregational, 1652, is located at 75 Main Street in Farmington, near Miss Porter’s School.  Sunday services are held at 10 a.m. For further information, call the church office at 860-677-2601 on Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. or view the website at www.firstchurch1652.org.
