In Not In Our Town’s 20 years of filmmaking and engagement, we have learned how one community can inspire another. This Spring, we premiered Waking in Oak Creek, which has already made its way to hundreds of towns and schools nationwide. After the film’s March premiere in Oak Creek, nearly 800 leaders have requested the film to bring together their communities, cadets, and classrooms in discussion around issues of hate and intolerance.
Today we kick off a series of stories featuring local leaders using this inspiring story of tragedy and triumph.
