Film showing

NORWAY – The final “One Book One Community: Oxford Hills Reads” Monday evening program will be a showing of the film, “China’s Mega Dam,” at 7 p.m. Monday, March 26, at the Norway Memorial Library.

The film, copyrighted in 2005, is a Discovery Channel production showing the construction of the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River in China. Billed as the “largest public works project in the history of mankind,” the size, scale, and potential are unprecedented in engineering history. Slated for completion in 2008, the dam is now in its final stages of construction.

The film, an hour and 40 minutes, will be followed by discussion led by Oxford Hills Comprehensive High School teacher Craig Blanchard. Blanchard has traveled to China many times with his work as the coordinator of the high school’s China Exchange Program.

The program is free and open to the public. For more information, call the library at 743-5309.
