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.
