Healing the DIvideSunday, 3/7 1:00 to 2:30 pm on Zoom
At our meeting on Sunday, March 7 at 1 pm, we’ll watch the documentary The Reunited States.
Here’s the trailer and a brief synopsis:
At a time when America is ripping apart at the seams, The Reunited States is a powerful and urgent documentary that follows some unsung heroes on the difficult journey of bridging our political and racial divides. Susan Bro, who lost her daughter when a car drove through a group of counter-protestors in Charlottesville, and David and Erin Leaverton, a Republican couple who travel to all fifty states in an RV to find out what divides us, are just a few of the characters profiled in the film. 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. The film urges us to consider that everyone has a role to play in reuniting the country.
I really liked this movie — I found it powerful, moving, and inspiring.
It’s also an hour and 24 minutes long, which won’t leave us much time for discussion. We’ll take some time for discussion Sunday for anyone who wants to stick around, and we can allow some more time in the following month’s meeting.
Zoom information will be provided on heal-the-divide@uucpa.org a day or two before the meeting. If you are not a member of that email list, you can request to join by sending a message to heal-the-divide+subscribe@uucpa.org.
