Peace & media activist Tom Jackson shows his latest work, ?Worlds Apart?

at the Agape Community, 2062 Greenwich Road, Ware, MA

In NYC, there is a small group of first responders who have called for nonviolent responses to the attacks of September 11, 2001. It is their belief that violence will only breed more violence. If we hope to eradicate terrorism, violence is not a solution. Reaction to their stance has been mixed, but never mild. Worlds Apart focuses on these heroes of 9-11, and their lives since that tragic day.

Included in the documentary is a look at a peacemaking delegation that brought 9-11 EMT Megan Bartlett and Joe Public Films producer Tom Jackson to Afghanistan in May 2004. They met with Afghan first responders in an attempt to establish ties of friendship, and to see if Afghan rescue workers were really much different than those in NYC. Reaching out to their Afghan colleagues is one way that Ground Zero for Peace could put their words into action.

The documentary features traditional Afghan music and songs from David Rovics, Emma’s Revolution, Cold Duck Complex, The Reagan Babies and others.
