Bounty: Boston in-person premiere

  • Old South Meeting House 310 Washington Street Boston, MA, 02108 United States (map)

Join us at the Old South Meeting House in Boston on April 12 for the in-person premiere of Bounty, co-presented by Upstander Project and Revolutionary Spaces. Registration is free.

Bounty reveals the hidden story of the Phips Proclamation, one of many scalp-bounty proclamations issued by colonial authorities to exterminate Native people in order to take their land in what is now New England. In the film, Penobscot parents and children defy erasure and commemorate survival by reading and reacting to the 1755 Phips Proclamation’s call for colonial settlers to hunt, scalp, and murder Penobscot people.

At the premiere, watch Bounty (9 min) and then join Bounty filmmaker Dawn Neptune Adams (Penobscot), Bounty senior advisor Chris Newell, Upstander Project learning director Mishy Lesser, and Upstander Project director and Bounty filmmaker Adam Mazo along with special guests from Revolutionary Spaces for a conversation after the film. A reception will follow the panel discussion.
