DESCRIPTION:from May 14 to June 18 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pmRegister HerePresented in partnership with FREE DC and Women in Film & Video \n\n\nThis one-hour documentary is the first historical film on the right for self-government in Washington\, D.C. told through the lives and voices of its citizens. This is a non-partisan film with conflicting points of view which premiered on PBS. \nWashington\, D.C. is one of the only capitals in the world where its citizens have no representation in the national legislature and where Congress and federal authorities routinely intrude on the local government of the District. The film looks at four turning points in the history of Washington\, D.C. to understand how this happened and the struggles of D.C. residents to restore their basic rights of self-government that other Americans enjoy. \nFilmmaker Anna Reid Jhirad\, founder of Marigold Productions\, LLC\, is a deeply experienced and award-winning filmmaker who has worked for years as a writer and producer on documentary programs that landed on PBS\, in museums\, IMAX cinemas\, and in independent markets. She is now directing a series of films. She was able to work with major producers–Henry Hampton in Boston; Charles and Grace Guggenheim in Washington\, D.C.; PBS executives such as Tamara Robinson at WETA and WNET; and African American directors such as Dante James. The programs won significant awards among them Emmys\, Cine Golden Eagles\, the Dupont Columbia Award\, and an Academy Award Nomination\, as well as awards from film festivals (Pan African Film Directors’ Award\, Black Maria Film Festival\, Philadelphia Women’s Film Festival). \nA key thread running through her films is their focus on history. In trying to understand the racial violence in Boston during the 1970s\, she launched her own earliest films at WGBH but also worked with Blackside Inc\, on Eyes on the Prize. In Washington\, D.C.\, she was lead writer for Power to Heal\, a story about the racial integration of hospitals under Lyndon Johnson\, which appeared on PBS nationally. She helped develop museum exhibitions with Margo Taft Stever\, featuring newly discovered photographs of William Howard Taft’s 1905 Mission to Asia. Now with The Last Battlefront: Quest for the Vote in Washington\, D.C.\, she has found\, again\, that history has a way of broadening our understanding of a difficult political dilemma\, D.C.’s long struggle for basic rights of self-government\, democracy\, and representation in Congress. At a time of national struggles over voting rights\, these little-known stories offer insights that should help reframe the fight. She is a member of the Writers Guild East. \nWatch the trailer here. \nPost-screening panel to include: \n\n\nMaddie Caldis – Moderator & Event coordinator (member of WIFV and FDC)\nAnna Reid Jhirad – Filmmaker\nAnkit Jain – DC Shadow Senator & Voting Rights attorney\nErika Turner – Free DC Training/Programs Coordinator\nAbbie Nelson – Representative from Reeb Voting Rights Project URL:https://www.hillcenterdc.org/event/screening-of-documentary-film-the-last-battlefront-quest-for-the-vote-in-dc-featuring-a-panel-discussion-with-filmmaker-anna-reid-jhirad/ LOCATION:Hill Center DC\, 921 Pennsylvania Avenue\, SE\, Washington\, DC\, 20003\, United States CATEGORIES:Films and Performances,In-person Events,Lectures & Conversations ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.hillcenterdc.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/Last-Battlefront.jpg GEO:38.8829927;-76.9931301 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Hill Center DC 921 Pennsylvania Avenue SE Washington DC 20003 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=921 Pennsylvania Avenue\, SE:geo:-76.9931301,38.8829927 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260226T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260226T133000 DTSTAMP:20260424T050522 CREATED:20251215T160657Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260115T174346Z UID:10018407-1772109000-1772112600@www.hillcenterdc.org SUMMARY:Mindful Movement Yoga with Anne Harrison DESCRIPTION:from May 14 to June 18 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pmRegister HereIn this class\, we will learn and practice foundational yoga poses i.e. the standing poses\, twists\, forward folds and seated postures as we connect the postures through a slow flow and breath.  Class warm ups will include some tai-chi moves.  This class is appropriate for the senior community\, new moms and honestly\, any adult who is looking to move\, breathe\, and meditate within the movements.

It’s so much fun you won’t realize how much learning is taking place! \nYou’ll take home the award-winning music used in class\, along with an illustrated songbook and other resources. As you discover new ways to play with music all week long\, you’ll support your child’s music learning and overall development—even if you don’t think of yourself as a great singer or dancer. \nWhy Mixed Ages? \nChild development researchers discovered that grouping children of different ages in one class encourages natural\, family-style learning\, so Music Together developed the Mixed-Age Music Class. In this group music class in Washington\, DC\, everyone participates at their own levels: babies vocalize\, listen\, and observe; toddlers play and experiment; and preschoolers build confidence as they emerge as classroom leaders. Grownups are happy because everyone can come to class together. \n“My husband teases me because whenever I mention Music Together to anyone\, he always pipes up my next line which is ‘best money we ever spent.’ I truly mean it.
