We will be screening the video, Cite Soleil, that has been selected for the New York Peace film festival.
Speakers Amy Watts and Manuel Padilla from Pax Christi USA will share the background of Cite Soleil, where Pax Christi’s work is being done. They will discuss how history, economy, stigma and violence often work together to create seemingly impossible situations of conflict and oppression.
They will share the work of PC Haiti and PC USA in addressing these root causes of violence and how conflict resolution and working with the youth are acting to transform lives and the community.
Together we can identify parallels to the challenges we face in our own metro community and draw on each other for inspiration and hope.
