The Big House:
In post-revolution Yemen, when a boy finds a way into the empty mansion down the street, he lets himself and his imagination run wild in the big house.

Valley of Saints:
In war-torn Kashmir, a lakeside city is plunged into a military curfew. Stranded together on breathtaking Dal Lake, a working-class boatman and a beautiful young scientist form an unlikely bond. But as violence spills in from the city, their budding romance may not survive.

OREGON REPORTS MORE HATE CRIMES THAN ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE COUNTRY PER CAPITA.

SO WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT IT?

Starting with the premise that the opposite of fear is friendship, and the opposite of "hate crime" is "building the beloved community," join a diverse cross-section of your neighbors on the fourth Sunday of each month to make new friends and deepen your community relationships. Each gathering will welcome a different community leader who will share their vision of "what they are for" here in Oregon, and offer us a chance to discern and discuss what we are for as well. Brought to you by the Beloved Community of Oregon.

Oregon united for Rohingya

We're asking Oregonians of every faith, of all our robust nationalities and ethnicities, to next Sunday's expression of reassurance to all our Rohingya families, that they are loved and respected by all of us.

This will also be a deep, wide, and clear condemnation of the nation of Myanmar's military and political leaders.

Burning the homes, mosques, and businesses of vulnerable Rohingya ethnic minority families; murdering boys and men, sexually assaulting girls and women, then expelling an entire Muslim community from Myanmar, violates all norms of international law and every American's sense of decency. We ask participants to bring banners or signs expressing our respect and affection for all humanity, particularly for Myanmar's and America's Rohingya communities.
