The Premiere of a new documentary film by The Guibord Center

The terrorists who brought down the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, wanted to trigger America’s collapse. They hoped to create such fear that we – amid our grief and confusion and with our many different religions, beliefs, and cultures – would turn on one another.

However, America’s strength, since its beginning and now, has been in the power of our people to unite around shared values for a common good. Some have, of course, exploited the fear – leading to racist attacks and violence against those thought to be Muslim or Arabic. But at the same time, countless others have worked to fight hate and build enduring relationships within and across faith communities that strengthen our society and help keep us safe. 

Please join us as we remember those lost on 9/11/01 and honor the interfaith community’s history and growth, from its start on September 11, 1893, through 9/11/2001 and to this day. We’ll share a diverse sampling of ways in which Southern Californians of all faiths have created communities of caring, trust  and solidarity, working for the good of all Americans.
