“Those People: How a Talent Show Turned Pain Into Healing,” the acclaimed 2021 documentary directed by The Day’s Peter Huoppi and produced by Huoppi and Chris Goodwin, a former New London city councilor and co-founder of the New London Talent Show, will be screened locally over the next few weeks.

The film is an account of how a group of young activists and their mentors, inspired by the tragedy and volatile reaction to a racially motivated murder of a young New London man, ultimately brought the community together through the ongoing annual talent show that ultimately ran for 10 years.

The Day has joined with Green Planet Films, a Stonington nonprofit distributor of nature, environment and human ecology films, in an agreement that will present several screenings of “Those People” in the coming weeks. At 5 p.m. on Nov. 14, the New London Public Library hosts a viewing of the film along with a Q&A session featuring Huoppi and Goodwin. The library is located at 63 Huntington St., and the event is free; visit plnl.org.

“Those People” is also part of a new series of one-week film residencies at Westbrook Cinemas in partnership with Green Planet. “Those People” will show in a Westbrook theater Nov. 15-21.

The other Green Planet movies scheduled for Westbrook include “Atomic Hope”Nov. 9-15. It concerns a tiny global movement of unpopular pro-nuclear activists who strongly believe nuclear power is required in order to decarbonize our energy systems.

“Art & Pep,” about civil rights leaders Art Johnston and Pepe Peña, whose life and love are forces behind LGBTQ+ equality in the heart of the country, will play Nov. 22-28.

And “Jaguar People,” screening Dec. 6-12, details how China’s infusions of hundreds of billions of dollars into South American infrastructure is causing jaguars to disappear from the continent’s most protected rainforests.

Westbrook Cinemas is located at 314 Flat Rock Place. For ticket prices and showtimes, go to westbrookcinemas.com.
