Amazing students from Storefront Academy, Brooklyn International High School and Harvest Collegiate High School (and 5,500 who were live streaming) asked probing, personal questions to Faiza Almontaser and her brother-in-law, Lieutenant Jamiel Altaheri, after the screening of POET AGAINST PREJUDICE at Lincoln Center. Talked about bullying and Muslim identity and the importance of finding common ground. A glorious and memorable way to spend 9/11 - in the presence of young optimism, honesty and curiosity. The room was filled with empathy. Thanks to all who participated and helped! #poetagainstprejudice #findingcommonground #albertmaysles #filmsocietyoflincolncenter #empathy #September11 #Iloveny #
