UNDIVIDE US | Movie Screening

Description

The Challey Institute is hosting a film screening of the movie, "UNDIVIDE US," on Thursday, February 15th. All are welcome to join us in the Louise Auditorium in Barry Hall at 7:00 p.m. to watch the film. Popcorn will be provided and Ben Klutsey, featured in the film, will offer a Q&A session after the screening. This event is free and open to the public. Movie Description: As news and social media amplify a narrative of an America on the brink of civil war, politicians in Washington, DC stir conflict: red against blue, rich against poor, urban against rural, race against race, and man against woman. They cast us as enemies locked in battle, usurping power and posing as our saviors. UNDIVIDE US challenges the idea that citizens who disagree are not capable of civil conversation and demonstrates the truth that, even in our differences, the American experiment is still alive and well. It exposes the power players in Washington DC as the true disruptors of peace, driving our legitimate differences to the brink of disaster. Hear from experts about the roots of this toxic polarization and learn how to counteract it in our local communities and lives. Watch the Trailer: https://undivideusmovie.com/ Following the screening, you are invited to also join us Friday morning (2/16) at 10:00 a.m. for the Human Progress and Flourishing Workshop where we will hear a presentation from Ben Klutsey on Polarization and Pluralism.
