Join the Office of Student Development & Activities at the film screening of Journey to a Hate Free Millennium that will feature a discussion with director and producer Brent Scarpo. Journey to a Hate Free Millennium is a multiple award-winning documentary that seeks solutions to ending hate and the terrible hate crimes that have become frequent events in our daily lives. The stirring and powerful film centers around true stories taken directly from national headlines, including the student shootings at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo.; the torturous death of James Byrd, Jr., an African-American man in Texas; and the brutal beating of Matthew Shephard, a gay college student in Wyoming. The inspiring documentary addresses the subject of hate by searching out the origins of how it is taught and learned, and the scope of its danger beginning with childhood taunting to murder. Viewers are invited to take a stand against hate and create their own vision of a world free of hate, where senseless acts of violence are a thing of the past. Light refreshments will be served.
