AN AMERICAN MOSQUE
documentary screening + Q & A with the filmmaker
An American Mosque is a groundbreaking documentary about the first mosque destroyed by arson in United States history and the Americans affected by this horrible hate-crime. This occurred in Yuba City, CA, in 1994. In a broader sense, this documentary is about creating a more inclusive America, giving value to all houses of worship, and combating negative stereotypes of Muslims that have emerged since 9/11. As mosques are increasingly protested, attacked, and vandalized, we need to collectively speak-up: THIS HAS TO STOP! Respect our fellow Americans.
Filmmaker: David Washburn will attend the screening to lead discussion and answer questions. He is an award-winning filmmaker. For over a decade, he has worked on films & oral history projects that document America's rich cultural history and bring forward underrepresented stories. He is the recipient of grants from the California Council for the Humanities, among others.
