We at Open the Debates could not be more proud and excited to participate in this incredibly timely film project led by our fiscal sponsor Mediators Foundation‘s Mark Gerzon. Partnering with award-winning filmmaker Ben Rekhi to bring his book The Reunited States to life, the powerful stories here speak to the deep yearnings for justice, repair, and reconciliation throughout the United States.
The Reunited States is looking like it will be a key part of the conversation around healing our divisions in our country.Â
SYNOPSIS:
At a time when America is ripping apart at the seams, The Reunited States is a powerful and urgent documentary that follows the unsung heroes on the difficult journey of bridging our political and racial divides. Each of these bridge-builders have realized that while our divides run deeper than they ever could have imagined, so does the love and hope to bring our country back together. Based on the book of the same name, the film urges us to consider that everyone has a role to play in reuniting the country.Â
The filmmakers have extended an invitation for us to invite you, our members, to attend The Red, White and Blue Carpet Premiere presented by Van Jones and Meghan McCain on Thursday, February 11th at 5PM PST/8PM EST! Throughout the premiere there will be special guests, lively conversations, and moving experiences that will stick with you long after the event. The invitation is attached and admission is free! We hope to see you there! Here is the link to sign up.
