“Repairing the World: Stories from the Tree of Life,” the story of Pittsburgh’s transformation and healing after the deadly 2018 attack on the Tree of Life Synagogue, will be screened at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 10, at the Butler Area Public Library.

A discussion will follow the film, which documents a community’s response to hate and antisemitism in the aftermath of the assault on three congregations that were worshipping at the synagogue on Oct. 27, 2018.

The lives of 11 faithful were taken in the deadliest antisemitic attack in U.S. history.

The film follows survivors, family members of victims, diverse community members, students and civic leaders as they examine their vulnerabilities and the impact of rising antisemitism, racism, hate speech and gun violence.

The film is set against the backdrop of a tumultuous period in the country, and shows the powerful display of unity in a moment of crisis, the resilience of a vibrant city, and a community not unfamiliar with violence and trauma working to heal and grappling with the meaning of “Stronger Than Hate.”

“Pittsburgh has provided a model for what people can do to combat antisemitism and hate,” said Patrice O’Neill, executive producer of the film and CEO of Not in Our Town.

“As we watched the events unfold in Pittsburgh, what we found is a community that cared deeply for one another,” O’Neill said. “We saw a diverse cross-section of the community standing together in the face of horrific violence.”

“Repairing the World: Stories from the Tree of Life” was released by American Public Television, WQED in Pittsburgh and Not in Our Town, which produces films on successful community response to hate.

The screening at the library is made possible through a partnership with WQED.
