A Dream in Doubt–Social Change Film
April 12, 2017 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Fallback to follow by Williams Professor Saadia Yacoob.
Four days after the 9/11 attacks, Balbir Singh Sodhi was gunned down at his Phoenix area gas station by a man named Frank Roque. To Roque, Balbir Sodhi’s beard and turban — articles of his Sikh faith — falsely evoked the face of America’s new enemy. Seeking retaliation for 9/11, Roque killed Sodhi and went on to shoot at a Lebanese American man and fire multiple rounds of ammunition outside an Afghan American family’s home.
A Dream in Doubt follows Rana Singh Sodhi, Balbir’s brother, as he attempts to fight the hate that threatens his family and community.
He demands that America live up to its ideals of freedom, equality, and justice for all. In A Dream in Doubt, he challenges his fellow citizens to think deeply about individual responsibility in the face of bigotry and what it means to be a true patriot.
