Join us for the moving and significant film, EMANUEL: The Untold Story of the Victims and Survivors of the Charleston Church Shooting. Marking the fourth anniversary of the event, executive producers Steph Curry and Viola Davis, co-producer Mariska Hargitay, and director Brian Ivie (The Drop Box) present EMANUEL. The documentary powerfully weaves the history of race relations in Charleston, the significance and impact of Mother Emanuel Church, and the hope that somehow emerges in the aftermath. Featuring intimate interviews with survivors and family members, EMANUEL is a poignant story of justice and faith, love and hate, examining the healing power of forgiveness.

Come learn about the pain, grace and healing that occurred as result of this tragic event and how we as people of faith can come together to share experiences of how such tragedies impact all faith-based institutions and to strengthen our convictions to reduce gun violence.

The two showings of this film will be held at the First Congregational Church of Glen Ellyn:

• Monday, October 21st at 7:00 pm, popcorn will be available

• Sunday, October 27th at 11:30 am, light lunch will be served
