The tragedy of George Floyd’s death sparked a look at the historical context of deep-seated, systemic racism in America. In just 32 minutes, Spark explores the root causes of this systemic racism and proposes remedies in public safety, policing, criminal justice, and social norms. This short documentary is a call to action: Consider becoming a Black community ally. Spark, made by white allies, encourages recognition of unconscious bias and commitment to unlearning a historical narrative that redefined an entire race.

This documentary screening will be followed by a discussion led by Spark‘s Associate Producer, Julie Manriquez, and by Rabbi Jeremy Gimbel.

There is no fee, but please RSVP for planning purposes.
