After a summer spent putting the final touches on our film, Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness, we gathered together our supporters and friends of Not In Our Town and its mission for an advance screening on Sept. 7. Before and after the film, several people reflected on the power of Not In Our Town films to change attitudes. Jon Logan, of the Reva and David Logan Foundation explained why he decided to support our mission.  "It was a great opportunity for myself and my family to put our money were are hearts are, really document what was going on in my community, but also to really show how communities dealt with these things," Logan said. "These were just everyday people who knew they wanted to do the right thing and their communities needed their help."

"It's a very important documentary that everyone should see," he says, adding that it's crucial that "Latinos and all Americans stand together to take action against hate speech." He encourages you to screen the film in your local communities and take action on their website, nhmc.org.

It is said that there is power in numbers, but when an increasing number of injustices were committed in Hayden Lake, Idaho, it was a small group of  concerned citizens that stunted the growth of an American Nazi movement.   Three decades later, the story of the campaign for human rights that brought down the Aryan Nations--a once powerful organizing force that incorporated a white supremacist ideology with a frightening mix of anti-Semitism, racism, and Christianity--is now told in a one-hour documentary, The Color of Conscience.
