"Children of God" Documentary Film

On Wednesday, August 7, the Farmington Libraries will show
the documentary film, “Children of God.” This event will take place at 7:00
p.m. at the Farmington Main Library at 6 Monteith Drive.

This summer, the Farmington
Libraries has selected the book, Little Princes: One Man's Promise to Bring
Home the Lost Children of Nepal, by Conor Grennan as the title for our One
Town, One Book program. This film will provide more background and context
for the book.

“Children of God” exposes the
social conditions of the suppressed Nepalese people through the plight of their
children, where reverence for the old and dead far outweighs the care for the
young and living. Experiencing their innocence and their hardship through
songs, stories and heartbreaking living conditions, exposes the contradiction
of the material world that rests upon perhaps the most spiritual culture on
earth.

Advanced registration is

This program is part of the libraries’ 2013 adult summer
reading program entitled, “One Town Many Stories,” and is sponsored by the Friends
of the Farmington Libraries.
