When arson strikes the local mosque, a Texas town must reckon with its troubled past.
On January 28, 2017, leaders of the Victoria, Texas Muslim community – Abe Ajrami, Omar Rachid, and Dr. Shahid Hashmi – watched as their mosque burned to the ground. A Reel South and INDEPENDENT LENS original series from award-winning filmmaker Li Lu, “A Town Called Victoria” follows the aftermath and investigations into the fire to answer the question of how a multi-faith community can come together to heal and turn against hate.
Indie Lens Pop-Up, presented by ITVS, INDEPENDENT LENS and the Fayetteville Public Library will host a screening of “A Town Called Victoria,” featuring a community discussion with Jeff Gruenwald, Director of the Terrorism Research Center at the University of Arkansas. Join us for a conversation about the power of faith and community in the face of upheaval and hatred.
