THIS FILM IS SOLD OUT. Tickets will not be sold at the door.

THAT KID tells the story of a young, gifted Black boy from Nyack Plaza named James. All of his elders do their darndest to help him prepare for life in a system that is predicated on his exploitation rather than designed for his success.

It seems like in our culture a person or community’s monetary wealth is frequently mistaken for their real value as human beings.

Many people probably think about the residents of Nyack Plaza in terms of what they don’t have. Ashley Dawson’s fictional debut THAT KID shows us something else, on both sides of the camera. It is a community creation embodying the kind of value which cannot be bought with money (or entirely displaced through eminent domain, either!!!).

In the cinema verité tradition of BATTLE OF ALGIERS, Ashley Dawson manages to show what life is like with fictional storytelling in a real environment. THAT KID will premier at the LA Underground Railroad Film Festival on April 17, and at the Nyack Center with Rivertown on April 23.

After the film, stay for a discussion with filmmaker Ashley Dawson, Nyack NAACP President Nicole Hines, and attorney L’Tanya Watkins.

In 2020 Ashley Dawson co-founded Truth 2 Power to bring people together at the intersection of education, community, and film, some of which has documented the under-valued African American history of Nyack. She has also conducted essential journalistic coverage of the deaths of Tina Davis and Sean Harris, in addition to the ongoing issue of police brutality in Rockland County, more broadly. You may have learned from Ashley about film in the African diaspora from the credit bearing course Truth 2 Power offered entitled Honoring African Cultural Continuity in Film. It is now our pleasure to announce the release of her debut as writer/director of a fictional film.

O jogo móvel tem vindo a crescer há vários anos. Naturalmente, os melhores casinos online também reagem à tendência e fornecem-lhe várias aplicações ou websites móveis. Nesta página, dedicamo-nos especificamente às últimas e mais populares opções de jogos móveis que são oferecidas no mundo dos casinos em linha. No teste encontrará toda a informação sobre aplicações para dispositivos Android e iOS, assim como websites móveis.
Cada casino móvel Português tem a sua própria forma de "fornecer" aos jogadores slots móveis e clássicos. Alguns dependem de aplicações especiais para smartphones Android, bem como para iPhones ou mesmo iPads. Geralmente, os pequenos programas funcionam nos telemóveis correspondentes, mas também é maravilhoso jogar em movimento com um tablet.
Outras empresas, contudo, juram pelos sites da HMTL5. Este é, por assim dizer, o casino original com quase todo o portfólio em forma comprimida. Ambas as variantes têm vantagens, pelo que no final terá de decidir por si próprio qual a solução que melhor se adapta a si e às suas necessidades. HTML5 é sempre adequado se utilizar um smartphone ou tablet com sistemas que não os mencionados - Windows, por exemplo. Para este software, muito poucos casinos online desenvolveram até agora aplicações especiais. Assim, a coisa mais fácil a fazer é chamar o URL do casino e depois beneficiar da oferta de jogos móveis directamente no browser.
Em princípio, isto deve funcionar sempre sem problemas nos dispositivos actuais. O desempenho na área dos jogos móveis está a melhorar visivelmente, de modo que esta opção de jogo dificilmente é inferior à do casino com navegador no PC de casa. É claro que não se pode jogar apenas gratuitamente em movimento. Os sites HTML5 são, no final, algo como a forma pequena do grande casino. Isto significa que iniciar sessão e jogar para obter ganhos reais é tão fácil na estrada como em casa, no ambiente de trabalho. A única diferença é, evidentemente, a resolução mais pequena, e é aqui que o trigo é separado do joio.
