<p class=MsoNormal><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:
12.0pt'>On Monday March 1 at 2 pm, The Coolidge Corner Theatre will host a
special benefit screening of Jonathan Demme’s moving documentary <b><span
style='font-weight:bold'>The Agronomist</span></b>. The internationally
acclaimed director, <font color=black><span style='color:black'>recipient of

and answer questions after the screening. Proceeds from this event will
go to support <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Haiti</st1:country-region></st1:place>

<p class=MsoNormal><b><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:bold'>The Agronomist</span></font></b> is
about the life and work of Jean Dominique, human rights activist<font
color=black><span style='color:black'> </span></font>and host of the
independent radio station Radio Haiti-Inter. His broadcasts throughout the
early 1970s were a bold break from <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region
w:st="on">Haiti</st1:country-region></st1:place>’s predominant
government-run media, offering enlightening stories, in the native language of
Creole, about global issues to the people of the island. Dominique was
forced to temporarily leave <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Haiti</st1:place></st1:country-region>
twice, but remained an outspoken advocate of freedom of the press and the
Haitian community until his assassination in 2000. The film features a stunning
soundtrack by Grammy Award-winning musician Wyclef Jean. <o:p></o:p></p>
