CROSSING BORDERS

A film by Arnd Wächter, about four American and four Moroccan students who travel together.


Sharing experiences – Encountering the ‘Other” – Discovering themselves.

A documentary that follows four Moroccan and four American university students as they travel together through Morocco and in the process of discovering "The Other", discover themselves. With group travels and frank discussions, the students confront the complex implications of the supposed "clash of civilizations" between Islam and the West. The relationships formed through shared experiences contrast sharply with the media-shaped views Americans and Muslims have of each other. Humor, honesty and a willingness to be challenged all bring individuals closer to each other and the relationships that develop disarm hidden stereotypes.

Student Center Theater.  Refreshments will follow the film.
