Documentary: ‘Dialogue in Nigeria – Muslims & Christians creating their future’

Jos, Nigeria
October 21-24, 2010

From the project website:

“This hopeful documentary gives voices and faces to 200 courageous Muslims and Christians – diverse young women and men – who unite successfully in Jos, central Nigeria.

“Refusing to be enemies, they are together during days and evenings of the 2010 International Conference on Youth and Interfaith Communication.

“They are tense yet excited to finally cross lines of religion, economics, tribe, and gender to transcend the status quo and discover empathy for each other’s personal life experiences.

“Together they realize that an enemy is one whose story we have not heard, while listening-to-learn and thus dignifying themselves and the ‘others’ “.
