usc screening of valarie kaur's divided we fall


For those of you in Southern California, here's information about a special screening happening this week at the University of Southern California. My pal Sumi informs me that they'll be screening and discussing Valarie Kaur's Divided We Fall: Americans in the Aftermath this Tuesday, October 28, 6:00pm in Taper Hall 101 at USC.

The documentary follows Kaur's journey across America to tell the stories of hate violence against Sikhs and Muslims in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, confronting the forces unleashed in a time of national crisis and examining the larger question of "who counts" as American.

Valarie Kaur will be present for a Q&A after the screening. The event is free and open to the public. For more information about the screening, refer to the flyer above, or go here. For more information about the Divided We Fall, including upcoming screenings, visit the film's website here.
