FROM HATE TO HEALING: THE LONG ROAD HOME
A documentary about how the murder of James
Byrd, Jr. |
| The documentary film "God's Perfect Hate" focuses on how the brutal murder of
James Byrd, Jr. opened the eyes of the Texas Legislature
to hate crimes and which ultimately led to the passage
of a hate crime law. The film will have a two-part
curriculum which will be designed as an educational tool
to promote much needed dialogue around issues of
violence and hate crimes in the U.S., who is targeted
and what can be done to change it. The curriculum will
be developed for middle and high school students. The second and concluding part of the curriculum will be developed specifically for all age groups, and will include a wellness perspective that incorporates recent research findings from such fields as the brain sciences, positive psychology and the scientific study of altruism and compassion. Liz's mission with this project is to begin a much needed paradigm shift in the educational system that proactively supports a student's whole being, mind, body and spirit. ~ More Details ~ Contribute to this Film |
