SHARING WORD ON A SPECIAL FILM PRESENTATION!
NOTE THAT THIS SCREENING WILL NOT BE IN OUR SANCTUARY.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 30th @ The Angelika Film Center
In 2015, three Muslim-American students were executed while eating dinner in their home in Chapel Hill, NC. In 36 Seconds: Portrait of a Hate Crime, filmmaker Tarek Albaba makes an impassioned case for justice for these innocents and for his community. The film charts the victims’ families’ agonizing overnight pivot from trauma to advocacy as they struggle to prevent their loved ones’ deaths from being dismissed as the result of a random parking dispute.
They courageously speak the truth about the hate crime that has destroyed their lives, about the overt and insidious ways racism plays out in our society and about the need to reform a hate crime system that is broken. This is a project about grace and the will to fight for the truth in the worst of circumstances.
You can also watch the trailer on Vimeo.
