PASSIONADA SCREENING
The Portuguese American Women's Association was the proud co-sponsor of the Newport, Rhode Island, screening of PASSIONADA, a motion picture depicting the life of a Portuguese American fado singing widow and single parent living on the coast of southern New England. PAWA Secretary Ann Marie Almeida Clarkson co-chaired the Summer, 2003, event coordinated by the Rhode Island Film Commission. A reception in honor of the filmmakers and stars was held previous to the film's showing at the Jane Pickens Theatre.

Several local businesses in support of the Portuguese American community also contributed gifts in kind for this event. Music, dancers, and food donated by the Vasco da Gama Holy Ghost Society created the ambience, sponsored also by the Portuguese American Federation, Inc.
