*"Divided We Fall: Americans in the Aftermath"_
_Wednesday, April 11th, 2012*
/_Two _showings: *Noon *(104 Allen House) and *7:30 PM* (Living/Learning
Commons - Room 216)
/The film will be screened partially followed by a discussion on themes.
*/About the film: /*A powerful film that speaks to the forces unleashed
in a time of national crisis--racism and religion, fear and forgiveness.
Winner of more than a dozen international awards, the film has been
celebrated as "a starting point for the new dialogue on race and
religion that is essential to America's future" (Diana L. Eck, Professor
of Comparative Religion and Indian Studies at Harvard University and
director of The Pluralism Project <http://www.pluralism.org>). As we
celebrate the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, it is
clear that the take-home message in the aftermath, still has much
relevance today.

/*/*About the Social Justice Film Series*/: Brought to you by the
Center for Cultural Pluralism, the Spring 2012 Social Justice Film
Series theme is 'Conversations at the Crossroads' and offers
participants an educational opportunity to explore through film and
subsequent discourse and engage issues of identity in its various forms,
visible and invisible. Films selected for the Social Justice Film Series
have two viewings and are generally screened up to a half hour and
followed by an engaged discourse on the themes by the participants. To
be respectful of your time, it is our hope that this entire educational
program does not exceed ninety minutes.
