Fambul Tok: The Power of Forgiveness / Film & Community Discussion
Tuesday, June 21 at 6:30pm at the Urbana Free Library

Fambul Tok is a film about healing in post-conflict Sierra Leone through the intimate stories of perpetrators and victims.  These stories of forgiveness and reconciliation, seen through the lens of family, friends and community show a culture that values the restoration of relationships and the wholeness of community rather than measures of punishment and retribution.  Join us to talk about how applying these ideas might create grassroots transformation in our own community.  Refreshments will be served.
