Shalom, AJL received the information below on a free DVD (30 minutes) with a guide, lesson plan and promotional material. It was part of a grant from the department of Justice community policing division . I have not watched it yet, but it looks like a nice program idea for synagogue, center, day school and other institutions. Amalia Warshenbrot Vice President, AJL
“Waking in Oak Creek” Profiles Community’s Inspiring Response to Hate Engage your community with compelling, high-impact public programming Not In Our Town’s 30-minute film “Waking in Oak Creek” profiles the powerful community response to the 2012 shooting at the Sikh Temple of Wisconsin. In the year following the tragedy, thousands gather for vigils and community events to honor the victims and seek connection. Young temple members, still grieving, emerge as leaders in the quest to end the violence. Together, a community rocked by hate is awakened and transformed by the Sikh spirit of relentless optimism. The film is a strong resource to spark dialogue and action addressing the need to: actively respond to hate and intolerance; build bridges between different groups in the community; and engage youth in building safe, inclusive communities. Libraries and community partners are invited to request free DVDs of “Waking in Oak Creek” for public screenings, training workshops, educational programs, and other community outreach activities. Supplemental resources available to help plan and host screening events include a Guide for Community Screenings, an Educator Lesson Plan, and promotional materials, among others.
