panel above -- Tivoli Cinemas in Westport -- Open Circle's screening of
DIVIDED WE FALL: AMERICANS IN THE AFTERMATH, is part of International Interfaith
Academies for Religious Leaders that will be convening in Kansas City this
month. In attendance that night --- along with you --- will be religious
leaders and students from across the globe who are coming to Kansas City
to strengthen and forward the work of the international interfaith movement.
Five years in the making, DIVIDED WE FALL invites audiences to experience
the untold stories of 9/11. The film documents hate crimes against Sikhs,
Muslims and others after 9/11 and examines how Americans react to the perceived
"other" in times of war. The journey spirals into the larger question of
who counts as 'one of us' in a world divided into 'us' and ‘them.’
A distinguished panel from the Interfaith Academies faculty with KC's
own Bill Tammeus will offer insights along with those of the audience in
an important conversation about healing the divide. Then you respond with
questions and comments.
