DESCRIPTION:“Divided We Fall:\nAmericans in the Aftermath”\nWritten and Produced by 
 Valerie Kaur         \nDirected and Produced by Sharat 
 Raju\nwww.dwf-film.com\n\nDivided We Fall is a film about the untold 
 American story in the aftermath of 9/11.  It is a moving story that brings 
 us to the intersections of violence, identity, and power in America, and 
 forces us to confront where we stand as a people.  Valarie Kaur was twenty 
 years old when she got in her car and began driving across the country. A 
 man from her community had just been murdered. An elderly man nearly beaten 
 to death. A woman stabbed in the head. Fragments of these stories sent 
 across e-mail lists were not making the nightly news, only the towers 
 falling over and over again between headshots of turbaned and bearded Osama 
 bin Laden.  As a Sikh American college student, Valarie wanted to reconcile 
 the two faces of America— the unity of a grieving nation and the fear 
 dividing her country. At the end of September 2001, she left behind her 
 junior year and began a journey across the country, looking for the heart 
 of America. Award-winning director Sharat Raju and his team joined Valarie 
 Kaur in 2004 to create the footage into a feature-length documentary. The 
 crew retraced Valarie's steps in summer 2005 in a second phase of 
 production on 16mm film and interviewed again the people Valarie first met 
 in 2001. The team has created a film that explores what it means to be 
 American five years in the aftermath. \n\nWeds, Jan. 31, 7:00 pm\nUC
