The Great Divide

This special event will feature producer Ilan Arboleda in attendance to introduce the film and, following the screening, participate in an extended audience conversation exploring the powerful themes, questions, and timely issues raised by the documentary.

A sweeping and deeply thought-provoking documentary, The Great Divide traces the long and often painful history of violence in America, examining its roots before confronting today’s escalating epidemic of mass shootings. Structured in nine chapters, the film explores how centuries of trauma, injustice, and division have shaped the nation’s present while asking what it will take to break the cycle, foster healing, and build a more hopeful future. More than a historical examination, the film is an invitation to reflect and imagine a path forward.
