Film | Mercy (2021): Drama about Hungary in the Soviet Era (online)
Following World War II, Hungary came under Soviet influence. The atheist, communist regime launched its most heated battles against the Church. The stakes were very high: after acquiring political power, they wanted to conquer souls and break people's faith. The film, taking place in 1950, presents the story of Father Leopold and the monks of his order struggling to once again revive Christianity in a country trying to scrape itself together after the war. Initially, the communist powers do not hinder their work, and the Church was even able to regain possession of holy objects hidden during the war. This "peaceful" state does not last long. Father Leopold is arrested on trumped up charges, and in order to break him, he is subjected to cruel torture. His former student, Lieutenant Keller, who turned his back on religion and now believes in the socialist system, is appointed - upon the command of Major Fyodorov - to extract a confession of guilt. But the Father's perseverance and resistance changes everything. Director: Karoly Eperjes Stars: Peter Telekes, Karoly Eperjes, Sandor Almasi 95 min. In Hungarian with English subtitles The stream will be avaiable for 24 hours starting at 8am.

City Walk | Floating Palaces of the Waterfront Walking Tour
What would the Titanic's passengers have seen if the great ship had completed its maiden voyage to New York? Today it's reborn as a beautiful site for recreation after decades of decay, but over a hundred years ago the Hudson River waterfront was the place where New York cemented its place as one of the world's greatest cities. Cargo, commuters, and international passengers jostled with dock workers, freighters, ferries, railroads, and giant ocean liners. Join us for a walking tour along the waterfront to explore how this dynamic waterfront worked in the age of Titanic and her fellow floating palaces that once docked there. Explore sites connected to the sinking of the Titanic and discover remnants of when the Hudson was the lifeblood of New York's economy.
