 The film about Donna Dear and Paulette Greene is called "The Aunties." On Oct. 14, they will be hosting a screening at Mt. Pleasant Acres Farms in Preston, Maryland, titled Soulfest X We Will Be Elders. The event will also include meditations with the “Witness Tree," a poplar tulip where those escaping slavery would pray. The gathering will take place from 3-8pm, with the screening beginning at sunset.
