RSVP: "36 Seconds - Portrait of a Hate Crime" Film Screening

36 Seconds: Portrait of a Hate Crime is a documentary that delves into the tragic 2015 Chapel Hill shooting where three Muslim American students—Deah Barakat, Yusor Abu-Salha, and Razan Abu-Salha, of Syrian, Palestinian, and Jordanian heritage—were murdered in their home. The film explores the profound impact of this event on the victims' families and the broader community, shedding light on the pervasive issue of Islamophobia in America. Through intimate interviews and investigative reporting, it challenges the initial narrative of a "parking dispute," presenting evidence that questions the motivations behind the crime. This documentary serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring struggle against hate and the resilience of those who fight for justice.
