Not In Our Town BG to preview documentary on Pittsburgh’s response to hate and antisemitism

The regularly scheduled monthly general meeting of Not In Our Town BG will be held virtually, on Thursday, Dec. 5, at 3 p.m.  

During this session, those attending will preview the award-winning movie “Repairing the World: Stories from the Tree of Life,” a documentary on Pittsburgh’s response to hate and antisemitism. For three years, the documentary followed survivors, families of the victims, diverse community members, students and civic leaders as they examined their vulnerabilities and the impact of rising antisemitism, racism, hate speech, and gun violence. The film shows unity in a moment of crisis, the resilience of the city, and a community working together to understand what it means to be “stronger than hate.” 

The Not In Our Town BG organization hopes to have conversations and lay the foundation for a civic and educational engagement campaign, to spark action and provide tools for members of our community to address the dangers of antisemitism and all forms of hate.
