United for Safe Schools Novato invites you to join us for a special Novato documentary screening and community discussion. 

Not In Our Town: Light in the Darkness - a new PBS film which documents the story of a town standing together to take action after a hate crime killing devastates their community – will be screened in Novato. Narrated by Academy Award®-Nominee Alfre Woodard, the documentary addresses the growing problem of anti-immigrant violence in communities nationwide.

The public is invited to the screening and discussion to follow. A ten minute clip featuring Novato from “Not In Our Town II” will also be shown.Reservations are required to allow for seating needs. Light refreshments will be served. Film has Spanish captions and Spanish translator will be available for discussion after the showing

In honor of his recent passing, the screening event is being dedicated to Knud Dyby, longtime Novato resident, human rights activist and one of the “Righteous Among Nations”, so awarded for his efforts rescuing Danish Jews and others during World War II.
