A Binding Truth

A Binding Truth

The Har Zion Social Action Committee presents the documentary film A Binding Truth, the true story of two men who where high school classmates in Charlotte, North Carolina, in 1965—Jimmie Lee Kirkpatrick, a Black football star, and De Kirkpatrick, a white student who respected Jimmie Lee from afar. Jimmie Lee and De came together 50 years later as they found themselves bound together by a history stretching back more than 150 years. It is a story of healing from a troubling past.

We will be showing the flim at the temple, followed by a discussion.

If you would like to watch this excellent film on at your convenience, it is streaming on PBS until the end of March.

Whether you watch the movie in person here at the temple or at a more convenient time at home, you are invited to join the discussion, which begins at 11:30am, either in person at the temple or on Zoom at Zoom ID 854 9238 0361.

The trailer for A Binding Truth can be viewed here.

(It’s a short film; this will be over long before the Super Bowl.)
