Colleagues:
The Spring 2012 Social Justice Film Series continues this Wednesday
(April 11th) with its presentation of "Divided We Fall:
Americans in the Aftermath" -
"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). 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.
