Film Screening (can also count as an event)
Neighbor versus Neighbor in ever-escalating conflict... Sound familiar?
Seeing the people who killed your family every day... at the grocery store, at school, at church,
around the way...

Coexist: a documentary film tells the story of how people on all sides of a genocide try to move forward. Hundreds of thousands of people killed in a matter of months. 15 years later, the murderers are out of prison and back in their old neighborhoods - living side-by-side with former enemies. Everyone faces painful choices: work towards reconciliation or live in fear of renewed violence. What would you do?
When hate persists how do you Coexist?

Come screen the film with The Teen to Teen Sibling Survivor Group at the Louis D. Brown Peace Institute

Where: 1452 Dorchester Ave. 2nd Floor (across from Fields Corner Station on the Red Line)
When: Friday, April 23rd
Time: 4pm
